|Subject: [php] SquirrelMail + Writable Directories
|
|My question is simple - I want to install Squirrelmail on my webserver,
|but I can't chmod or chown the data directory. Is there any way to stop
|Squirrelmail from trying to write to the directory without limiting
|functionality too much, or is there a way to allow it to write without
|using chmod, chgrp or chown?
|
|I can't SSH into the box, only set up cron jobs. :S Can anyone help!?
|
On Jul 14, 2003, "Ralph Guzman" claimed that:

|Most ftp programs allow you to chmod. If using windows, check out wsftp
|www.ipswitch.com.
|
|I don't think there is another way to change directory/file privileges
|other than chmod.

Might be kind of an inconvenience, but you might be able to set up a
cronjob for one minute out for the command you want to do, then delete the
cronjob.

Or, maybe this might help: http://www.gimpster.com/wiki/PhpShell
