The easist thing is to chage the ownership of the directory to be the
webserver user. so maybe...
chown httpd:apache /path/to/directory
Then you can alter the permissions to restrict access.
chmod og-w /path/to/directory
removes the write persmission for the group and 'other'
the user/group and directory are fake names that will most likely differ
for your system.
Some opinions may differ, but when i have an upload directory i give the
webserver onwnership of that dir and remove access to all other users so
only root can delete/modify...and sometimes even execute to keep that
'open' part of your system, locked down to others.

Thanks -- after some experimenting... I set the permissions to 777 on the
directory. The file transferred okay.... Now, I'm confused on how to get
the virtual domain to own the uploaded file and correct the permissions.
Any ideas.
