The permissions on the files uploaded should not depend on the program that creates them but rather on the umask set for that user when they log in and upload. It seems really weird that the same user can use fugu to upload files with one permission (644) and dreamweaver gives different permissions (664) However, if your notes above are wrong and user1 is uploading with dreamweaver (664) and user2 is uploading with fugu (644) then it likely is the umask. > > > > Maybe Dreamweaver explicitly sets the permissions of the files?

Apache knows that and refuses to use insecure settings. You should reset the directory back to the proper permissions. > jay > >
