I made a script that uses the copy() function to upload a file to a directory on the server. The script works just fine when I leave the directory unprotected. However, I have protected the directory with .htpasswd and .htaccess so that the files that are uploaded are not public domain. This makes the PHP script return an error in the browser: Warning: Unable to create '/home/.1qaz/vault/files.url.com/vault/DSCF0025.JPG': Permission denied in /home/.1qaz/vault/files.url.com/index.php on line 11 If I understand this correctly, it means the PHP script has no authority to get around the .htaccess authentication. I would like a way to pass authentication to the directory, or get around the whole authentication process altogether. What would you recommend? |

| authorizing the Apache/IIS user to access this directory. OR enable localhost access to it (the server is running locally) |

| The server isn't running locally. I simply have an account with a provider. Is this something I can request of the administrators? Would they be willing? :) I suppose I can ask. Thanks! Any other recomendations that I can do without administration help? |

| ho, then it's for sure (99%) a problem of access right for you sure : ask the provider for the cause of the error, as I think you're not doing anything forbidden (except if YOU created the directory you try to write in, using FTP for example. Then you should set appropriate permisisons like 777) |

| HA! It worked. Thanks VGR, that was great advice. The folder had 666 permissions, instead of 777. :) |

For those of you keeping score at home, please note that the copy() function DOES NOT bother to take into account any settings you have in .htaccess . This is applicable to ANY file manipulating function in PHP or otherwise (fopen, fwrite, file, etc). The reason? .htaccess is an APACHE ONLY thing. It is NOT a file control mechanism of the operating system. |
