Daniel:
1. I'm not sure -- from within a script, I ftpconnect() with user and
password and can change permissions of directories with no problems
-- can I do that without a valid FTP account?
2. From within a script, I change the permission of the parent
directory and open a file. If it's there, then I can read from or
write to it. If it's not there, then the operation ( fopen( $folder .
$filename, "w" )) creates the file and I can write to it then read
from it.
I have now figured out how to get the created file to 644 permission
and that's sufficient. I'm still not able to get permissions to 755,
but really don't need to, just wondering how.
Thanks,
tedd

When you're chmod()'ing your file, are you doing it correctly,
with the four-bit (octal) number as opposed to the common use of the
three-bit (decimal) number?
Id est:
chmod($somefile, 0755); // The "correct" way
chmod($somefile, 755); // Should work, but is still
"technically incorrect"
