No Edwin .. I can't do any thing to that file .. not even from my 
ftp client .. can't download can't change permissions ..

The server is managed by rackspace .. I doubt they would do some 
thing like running apache as root which I "hear" is a v foolish 
thing to do  (frankly I don't know how to figure it out myself 
..if that is the case .. phpinfo() did not say any thing on 
that.)

A brief restatement of problem

File uploaded via HTTP POST to /tmp  OK

After this I tried the following three things and none worked.

a) fopen("/tmp/temp_file_name","rb")  FAILED (Operation not 
permitted)
b) copy($tempfile, "/place/to/put/uploaded/file") FAILED
c) move_uploaded_file($userfile, "/place/to/put/uploaded/file") 
DID COPY BUT file had -rw-------- permissions, and could not open 
this file either... so back to square 1

The directory in "/place/to/put/uploaded/file is mode 777 .


Still fighting it out.
Regards
Jaski
