I am wondering what other people have done to deal with this. Do people just
set all the ftp users uid/gid to the same as the Apache uid/gid on the
system? Obviously this would be an ok solution because apache uid/gid !=
root.
What are the other ways you guys have dealth with this?
You can add apache to a group/the groups that own the directory in
question, you could change the group ownership of the directory to the
apache group, and make it group writable. Or you could create a group to
own the directory, and make all necessary users (including apache) members
of that group.
