I'm using a Flash Media Server 4.0 developer on Linux.

it required to be installed as root, so this is how its installed.

my application create file captures on the server via publish "record".

file captured are created, but with limited permissions as user "nobody".

is there a way to change the created directory and files permissions as they are created?

Thanks,

Ofer

    well when I change permissions on a directory i use chmod 777 this is not the most secure directory permissions but should work. chown also comes in handy. Are you sure you have FMS installed and working on linux? Because if you don't know how to change directory permissions from the terminal then I would tend to doubt you have it installed correctly.Then again I've been wrong before.

    I need to fetch these files via ftp by another application.

    So I'm looking for an automated way to create the files with the right

    permissions or change.

    Terminal won't work here.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Ofer

    well I use PHP exec methods and FTP to move files around on Linux. You can set File Permission with PHP on linux and you can either interface a server side script or client side flash script with PHP. Good Luck.
