Changing Permissions - FTP
I have created a sort of photography content management system.
Photographers copy a folder of images to the server using webfolders. Then they open a control panel and click on a button to make thumbnails and give their album name, description etc. Therefore the server must be able to write to the folder copied by the user.
We have used WebDAV to connect and this was great as webdav accesses the server as webserver user (apache:apache) or whatever it is set to. Therefore we didn't need to change permissions before thumbnailing the photos.
As I couldn't find a reseller account that would offer us WebDAV access we tried FTP. But FTP sets ownership as the FTP user, which doesn't allow webserver to write to the folder.
We don't think that is viable to teach our users how to use ssh to chown the folder, but I don't see other ways of doing it.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to go arround this? If there is a resseller account host that is willing to provide us with a solution we would gladly go with their service too.
Thank you very much for your input.
