Uploading images and folder permission

[allrounder]

Is there a way to be able to upload images (using form) to a specified folder with permission set to 755? The script I have been using works fine while the destination folder permission is set to 777. However, my web host has now prohibited 777 and my script won't upload images with 755. Any solutions?

if you cant do 777 because of phpsuexec, try 775, it usually works fine.
