FTP Permission Denied

[davdesign]

Hello All

I'm using a script to write to a text file (and if it ain't there then it's created automatically). In the same script is some code to list the directory contents.

My problem is this: after running the script once, I go through my FTP to edit the text file, but the FTP software gives me a 'Permission Denied' error and won't let me edit/delete the file from my server.

Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution, I'm desperate?

PLEASE HELP, thanks.

Yes, very clever!

Does anyone have a real answer?

Im afraid he's right and without access you cant right to the files. If you wanna change the access, try using the chmod() function: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chmod.php.

But I do have FTP access, that's how I know there is a "permission denied" message. The message isn't coming through a PHP script, it's coming through the FTP.

If I try to CHMOD the file via FTP I still get the "permission denied".

And I know that CHMOD via PHP won't work because in my FTP client the ownership of the file is different to every other file for some reason (which I'm guessing is the root of the problem).

And CHOWN doesn't work either.

Anybody?
