Thanks for the welcome guys...I have actually been with you guys for years, I just never signed up in the forums! So, I guess my only option here is to stay within Drupal's IMCE module to avoid any permission problems, I can do that Do you guys have this same restriction on a managed server? Or are managed servers completely under the control of the owner?

Hello, Is there anyway to tell apache to run as the user of the domain instead of uid 99 (nobody)? I know this might pose a security risk bu I am coming from 1and1 (the only reason I moved was because of their 100MB mysql limit) as a host and they set up apache that way. It made installing and using drupal a whole lot easier for me as I didn't have to worry about file permissions from drupal's IMCE module and I could upload multiple images and create directories as an ftp user without worrying if IMCE could read those directories because of file permissions etc. The main problem I am having is if I use drupal's IMCE module to create a directory it gets uid 99 and I cannot upload any images to that directory as the ftp user. Thanks
