Every new file I upload
upload from where and how?
From my desktop machine to the server, using FTP.
If I do a "rebuild permissions", will it fix this? Will it over-ride various folders which are world-writable
world writeable? whaddaya wanna doodatfer?
I have some folders within the webserver to which scripts write. There's probably a more secure/sensible way to do it it know, but it's my server and I know all the people who might use it and it's inside the firewall etc etc.
Is it more sensible to write to a tmp folder outside the web-accessible areas or something?
what does umask without any arguments tell you? Something like 037 or 015?
It just says "2". ------------------------------------------------------------ "Have You Validated Your Code?" John Horner (+612 / 02) 9333 2110 Senior Developer, ABC Online http://www.abc.net.au/ ------------------------------------------------------------
