I hear your plight. Had the same crisis earlier this year. On my server, the PHP ghost was named "localhost", and I was "httpwebwitch", and neither could do anything with files from the other. If a file was created with PHP, it had to be deleted with PHP. If it was created/sent via FTP, it had to be deleted via FTP. Isn't it annoying? Back when I was having the problem, I tried a few experiments with PHP "chmod" and setting permissions from FTP, nothing worked. But be thankful it works like that. It's a security thing. It's Good. a couple of options: 1) Get the server administrator (a.k.a. superuser) to delete the files for you. 2) do just as I mention above - use PHP to delete the files. Make yourself a little script that uses unlink().

thanks for your sympathy =) I'm the admin myself, running SUSE Linux 9.1 with Apache2 and PHP with Zend. Maybe this is an issue with safe_mode? though is safe_mode is off in my php.ini...

After you move_uploaded_file(), chmod the file to 0644.$uploaddir = '/var/www/uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
if (@move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. ";
@chmod($uploadfile, 0644);
}

I want to have the file(s) chmod 0644 but still deletable with user "wwwftp" of the group "ftpusers". So in other words it's not possible unless I chmod the files to 0777?

Did you test it?

yes, but my problem is that i use these functions in php: fopen()
fwrite()
copy
rename after that, I can't delete them via ftp. when I use move_uploaded_file() it works but that's not the thing I wanted to achieve since I write files with fwrite on the server itself and do not particularly upload them from a remote location.

chmod them after those functions. It should work.

or just use a clean up script using unlink
