Securing open directories.

I have been experimenting with some code that uses a PHP/FTP connection to change file permissions. I don't like the idea of making the image directory 777 but have no choice. Since the account info is already in a protected config file, why not add FTP info so that when you upload an image, you can:

 

1. login to FTP automatically and change the appropriate file to writable.

2. perform image upload.

3. logoin to FTP automatically and undo the permissions for security.

 

This could be of benefit for other PHP projects as well and the code is easy. I just am not too sure how to persue this from here. If nobody is interested, I will probably write it for myself, but the nice thing about OSS is that we can share.

Sounds useful to me. I suspect that people would use this code if it were available. If you are going to do it anyway, why not turn it into a Contribution? Announce it here, or post your preliminary code and we will help you test it (and maybe even make improvements.)

We all need to learn it once, how hard it may seem when you look at it, also you will master it someday ;)
