Hi folks
I have an site I've set up where I create a directory using PHP using mkdir(). That works great and I'm writing files within it using the same script.. The problem I came across this morning is while manually moving files from an old version to the new directory via ftp. I'm getting a permissions error saying Access is denied. I believe it is due to the owner of the folder that I created using mkdir() is different than the one I'm using to copy the files to, but I'm not sure how to fix this. Can I change it while creating the directory in the first place or is it possible to modify it in cpanel for a short time so I can copy my files and then change it back? Any help would be appreciated.
If you have any ideas or need more info, please let me know.

A chmod should work within a php script
chmod("directory name", 0777);
should work.
You only need do it once.
or is it possible to modify it in cpanel

Ineptocracy
(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

You may be able to use
chmod($dir, '777'); Or whatever permission you need.
It has been while since I have had to use this so you may want to search
on it.

Manually changing the perms did the trick, thank you!
