How to use SSH or FTP to CHOWN files
I have PHP Safe Mode ON on my web host. This is nice for security but makes it a nightmare with certain scripts. I would like to know if I can CHOWN files to be owned by the webserver or to make webserver files owned by me, and how to do it.

Thanks for any help.

chown -R nobody filedir

where nobody is defined in the httpd.conf as the username of the webserver and filedir is the directory where your files are. -R is the recursive switch

Thanks, I figured this out an hour or two after posting. However, I am not a 'superuser' so dont have permission to do it
