I have a site that will need to store file uploads by the user once logged in. Currently I have a folder with permissions opened up, (777), because that was the only way I could get mkdir() to work. When the user uploads a file, the application creates several directories based on the user, in this directory then eventually stores the file.

Couple of questions:

  1. How do I setup the permissions on each of these folders and sub folders so that only logged in users to my site have access to them? Is this even possible?

  2. Is there a more secure way of storing .pdf, word docs, and text files?
