the chmod 666 sets the exisiting files to be edited by the server. anything that's uploaded by the server is owned by it, and thusly can be edited.

as a side note, you'd have to chmod 777 the directory to be edited if you want uploads to work.

Ave,

Well here's my situation...
You see the File Manager allows users to Upload files ... Once a user
uploads the file... It resides in a particular folder on my server. Users
will be constantly uploading, downloading, deleting files. I can't possibly
CHMOD 777 all the time...

My question is... If I select the "nobody" group for the base folder where
the files are stored & created... Will all the directories & files which are
created later by the users using the website therein have the permissions to
be deleted, if I set the permissions to read & write on that base folder?

Thanks.

How do I find out which user/group my web server is running as?
I'm running an Apache Web Server on my Power MAC G5 (Mac OS X) machine.
I can change the user/group permissions... But which user/group does the
web
server use?

For security reasons Apache typically runs as "nobody"
