error when trying to delete

bull

here's my problem situation:

i create folder this way:

	mkdir($gal);
	chmod($gal.'/', 0777);

then i put images in it with php code..

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fails']['tmp_name'], $dest)
...

so far it is okey, but when i try to delete folder from my ftp client (WinSCP) i got..

Permission denied.
Error code: 3
Error message from server: Permission denied
Request code: 15

ftp client shows that folder has permissions set to 0777 but i cant delete it.
what i should do?

...I believe since usually PHP script creates folder as a user 'nobody' you cannot delete them through FTP client because it sends information that some other user is trying to delete them and it won't be allowed but you would have to do it through the PHP script itself...

But, like I said - I could be way off...

Have you emptied the folder before you try to delete it? You have to delet all the files in the folder before you can delete the folder.

0777 means everyone can do everything so that is not the problem, but what about the permissions for the files within the folder, are they also 0777?

bull

files in the folder havent got the permissions 0777, but they can be deleted easly by ftp client. if i empty the folder and then try to delete this folder it produces this error about that i havent got such rights.

i believe its that what bodzan sad.
i'll try to delete them by chmodinng and removing by php script.
