Thanks Judd,
The thing is, I want apache (nobody) to be able to edit his own files,
but not the ones created by the ftp user! So the permission should look
like: 775 (for apache created files) I'm assuming.
Now I'm assuming that the directory permission should change to 775 also...
ALSO... Do I need the execute permission (user or group)? Now apache
creates the files with 644!
I figured out how to change the group for the new created files by
apache (in httpd.conf), but from where can I set up the permission to
664 instead of 644?
Regards,
Marius
