Can't think of anything off the top of my head. It sounds like you're allowing users to upload to your web server. Maybe you should upload to a safer directory somewhere else, and have a cron job set up to move and chown/chmod once an hour, or something.<br>

The only other way I can think is to have users log in to FTP using the desired user. As this is "nobody" in your case, this might not work

I agree with AndyBo. Uploading to your web-server is very dangerous. Follow the guidelines for establishing an anonomous ftp server and then script the file ownership and permissions. If you figured a way to use a umask 002, the best you could get is 664 which is fine as long as your users aren't uploading scripts to your web server. And if they are, then you have a bigger problem then what you posted<br>
