PHP-uploaded file has incorrect permissions

Question

I'm using PHP to allow a user to upload a file. The file is being uploaded, but the permissions on the file are incorrect. I set up the permissions on the folder and checked the box that says apply to all children in the folder.

This works only after I make one change to the newly uploaded file. If I don't make a change to the permissions, it gets this default set that breaks the rest of my application.

For example, C:\\uploads\\ is set to allow users in the group "Everyone" to read and write. This however doesn't apply to the newly uploaded file until I do something to that specific file's permissions (add or remove any user or group to its permissions - this change gets overwritten by the folder's permissions).

This is on IIS6 (I believe) on Windows Server 2003

Answer 1

Windows upload file to temp directory and then move it with temp directory permissions. If You give good permissions to the user on this folder (upload_tmp_dir) then will be no problem. You can also use windows system command: CACLS or ICACLS

Answer 2

Do:

chmod()

On Your file after upload
