Topic: Chmod 0777 on a temp directory fails

Hi all,
I need to set 0777 on a directory (not a file), but every time I change it with my ftp client or with a php script it returns back to 775 (no public write). Anything I need to do before I chmod the directory that I'm missing?
Thanks.

You don't need to set a 0777 mode on a directory. Furthermore, this is impossible for you to do that, by anyway.

I'll look for a workaround. Thanks.

You don't need a workaround either, you can read/write to any directory/file that you own without a 777 mode.

I'm trying to update my stores homepage and it says it can't because it could "not open file of ... for writing." Then it says to try changing CHMOD value to 0777. Then change it back to 0644 when i'm done...
How do i go about doing this?
thanks

Well, we can only fix TuxFamily's users issues :-)
