ok so heres a question for you guys.

im building in some functionality into my site that allows users to upload a file(restricted of course) and when i was getting it wrong, i was able to go onto the server and delete the attempts. I finally get it cracked and i go to delete the folder and uploaded file and they wont delete. the folder i created has the CHMOD of 755 when i set it to 777.

Also the file that i uploaded, it says it has file attributes of being able to read and let the owner write but thats it. So im not allowed to delete it.

Why is this the case and how can i get around it? Cos i set the permissions on the directory to 777, that doesnt make sense!
