Ave, > But i think that when remounting the partitition, the permissions are reset too. Unfortunately you're absolutely right! The share is re-mounted on a daily basis (along with a reboot), and thus, even if the 'copy, delete from server, copy to server' process were to work, with every unmount & remount, it would go back to original permissions & ownership. Fmask, dmask and for that matter some other mount_smbfs options I found are an accurate solution to this problem - but unfortunately they don't work on Mac OS X, or the Samba that comes with mac os x, one or the other. I know this is gone completely out of PHP context, but I do appreciate you guys helping out. I'm just not finding any solution for this. I think I've gone through 100 websites googling different combinations.
