Thread: Create files with specified owner

Hey guys.

Anyway, I have today been working on a class to zip/unzip files on the server for a project I am helping with.

However, since the files are spawned by a server process when they are made (zip is made, or files extracted from one) the server gets ownership of the files and not my account, so I am unable to do anything to them afer they are made.

Is there anyway to get around that and have the files be created with my account having ownership of them?

I have already tried chown();, but as Im not a superuser it doesnt work for me.

The user and group has been changed with a single command. Just like with chgrp the chown command will take the –R (recursive) option and apply the chown command to a directory and its subdirectories.

Learn how to change the owner and group ownership of files and directories with the chown and chgrp commands. This tuXfile will make much more sense if you already have a basic understanding of file permissions and ownership.

Specified owner , the data for "specified units" exclude mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings.

I am also searching for this solution. Whenever I got the answer of that, I will share. thanks

Nice share. thanks
