writing to a file on remote server

[Anon]

Hi,
I need some help about writing to a file which is on my website. I want users to be able to store their comments to a file called comment.txt. However, the web server naturally denies access to the script.
How do I enable the user to do this?
I am the web master and I know the username and password. But what command should I use in the script to allow users to write to it?

Thanks!

I think the denial of access would be to the file, 'comments.txt' - not the script. If you have shell access, change permissions to make the file writable:

$ chmod 777 comments.txt

Dangerous! In the application, put in very strict input validation 😉 - or better yet store user comments in a db.
