You are reffering to other users with access (ssh, ftp, etc...) on the
same box.
Web users have no direct access to this folder (only through your
script which you can control)
Assuming you are on a unix machine using apache httpd:
You can give write access only to the user apache runs as.
Set apache user as owner:
chown -R apache.apache /path/to/writable/dir
Set permissions:
chmod -R 755 /path/to/writable/dir
Note: depending on your server's version and setup associated user
might be 'apache', 'nobody' or something else. If you are on a shared
hosting environment apache might be using your own user's permissions.
Hope this helps.
