This is one of a long list of *really* good arguments for not using Windows for 
your web server.

-- I'm not, I stated my web server was Linex with Apache.  My home computer 
uses Windows and IIS.  I have Red Hat on a older computer here at home, but I 
can't accomplish anything with it. I agree, more things are supported more with 
UNIX.  I have read much where Windows problems are pointed out, and UNIX is 
better.  I still like to create scripts with textPad  and use Visual Studio Net 
on my Windows computer.  


On a *nix box, you can simply have the folder/file you need to write to be 
owned by the user that apache is run as (typically www or apache).  You don't 
have to set world-write permissions on the folder, which is never a good plan.  
You *might* be able to do that on Windows -- it's worth checking out, but you'd 
be well advised to bite the bullet and move to Linux/Apache for production 
stuff.  There's a reason that it's the de-facto platform, and it's well worth 
the learning curve.

-- Apache is nobody(99), from the phpinfo() function.  So I would just put 
nobody as the owner?  I just learned about Apache being the one who needs the 
permissions to write to a directory.  

-- I seen how to ftp a site.  So that is how I'm going to place my images on 
the remote server.  I figured out one of my questions.  

Thank you, Jeromie, for your reply.
