Re: [PHP] File Upload Security and chmod

Hi Tedd,

Yes, when I browse to www.myDomain.com I get the index.html file, and so I
have been leaving the .public_html/ directory alone since it is not my
root. I'm curious, what you described is exactly what I'm trying to do -
what permissions do you set the parent folder at when you are finished
uploading/saving/downloading/etc.? I have my "uploaded_images/"
directory set at chmod 0100 and I can still browse to an uploaded image from
my file upload page... Thanks for your response,

Andy

Sorry, I didn't catch all of the thread, but this is my drift.

When you access your site (http://yourdomain.com) via a browser, do
you see the above index.htm?

If so, and you want to stay with that host, then leave the
.public_html/ folder alone, and build your site using WinFTP, or
whatever.

If you want to change permissions for a file from within a php
script, then ftp into your site (using ftp_login), change the parent
folder permissions, do your file thing (upload, delete, save, etc.),
and then change the parent folder permissions back and it's done.

At least that's the way I do it working on a shared host and it works for
me.
