Re: [PHP-DB] upload problem ... From: Andre P. (drowser <email protected>)

Steve,

When you use input type=file the web server uploads the file to a
temporary directory which it must have write access to, i.e. the user
that the httpd process is run as must have write access to /php/tmp.

To my knowledge there is no way of allowing the httpd process to write
to that directory using your ftp users/password. Bear in mind that you
could change the temporary upload directory from /php/tmp to /tmp.

do you have full access to you box or only an account?

hope this helps

ciao
Andre.
