When your script creates the file, it creates it as itself, and not as 'you', which means that 'you' probably can't change it.
Rich, If he's doing it with ftpconnect();, it's a matter of the login information supplied for the socket connection via the function, not who the script is running as. However, on a slightly different note, you can (once again, referring to my post from the archives) `chmod 6755 scriptname.php` where scriptname.php is the name of the file creating the file, if on the same (*nix-like) server as the files being created. If the server is set up properly, then chmod'ing it like that sets the first permission bit to execute the script as the user and group (with inherent permissions), as opposed to running as `nobody`, `apache`, `httpd`, `daemon`, or *gulp!* `root`. -- Daniel P.
