Hating Linux Permissions
Does this permission scheme make sense to anyone else? Please explain it to me, because I just don't get it.
I can assign an owner. I can set permissions for the owner, a group, and others. For some reason, I cannot get the permissions configured to allow for both FTP access and writability via PHP. It's one or the other, which is very inconvenient. In fact, it's not just that, but if I turn on the ability to FTP, I can no longer read files with a web browser. Oh, the humanity!
