Doug -- ...and then Doug Wright said... % % I log into a remote machine to check my mail. If I get an attachment that % will only open on a windows machine I need to get that file to my desktop. % Now I am saving the attachment and typing the full path to a folder that is % accessible from a web server ie /home/doug/public_html/attachments/ I then
I don't have exactly the same conditions, but certainly similar enough. % have to go to that folder before I can get it and chmod the permissions so % apache will let go of it. is there a way to set a default save attachment % folder and have the permissions set to 644 in one fail swoop? thanks Nope. You've seen the discussion of why that's so and why that's a Good Thing (tm), so I won't go on. I will, however, once again attach the little mpack/munpack wrapper that I wrote, which I call wmunpack, which takes an optional flag to determine the drop point for attachments and then dumps 'em there. Enjoy (and check the archives next time ;-) % % Doug HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
