I have an image uploaded on one of my sites. The folder where the images are uploaded is set to CHMOD 777, as are all the files when they are uploaded. I'm trying to clean up space on my server and the damn thing won't let me delete the images people are uploading. Here's the message I get in my ftp program. Command: DELE /public_html/uploads/images/2007-08-24/imagename.jpg Response: 550 Could not delete /public_html/uploads/images/2007-08-24/imagename.jpg: Permission denied It says permission denied. I tried changing the permissions of the images and it won't let me! What can I do here? Or do I need to contact my host?
It could be user permissions. Since these images are being uploaded by users, via a script, the permissions might be assigned as "nobody", instead of your username. Yes, contact your host, and they will sort it for you
