Hi Jasper,
When using my Php script, I don't see any error messages.
I have logged in using SSH, but the directories created are
owned by 48 and not my ftp user and so I have to switch
to a super user to make any changes.
Also, even though I use:
mkdir("$endpath", 0777);
The resulting directories end up as 755.
Yeah I have a feeling that you are right, that apache on
my server does not have chown permissions.
Thank you very mych for your help.
Keith
