Apache as standard will run as "nobody", so when files are uploaded that is who owns them - nobody. This user has very limited access rights and you won't be able to move the files to anywhere that isn't pretty wide open. Some hosts (well, Pair Networks at least) offer a PHP wrapping script, which allows you to run PHP scripts as your local user, so you can upload files anywhere - this is what I use and it's great. Alternatively, you could upload them to a temp directory (within your web root) and use a CRON job to move them where you really want them at set intervals, again if executed with the right permissions this would also work. -- Best regards, Richard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
