I believe what's crucial here is that the web server software be able to write to the directory. You're right that changing the directory permissions to 755 wouldn't fix this. Changing the ownership of the directory to the account under which your web server software runs, however, might. -- David Benfell <benf...@parts-unknown.org> http://www.parts-unknown.org/
