Using 0700 worked , Thank you! I thot 'others' would be what i needed 
because i'm doing this from the web and so I'm not authenticating( 
accept with a database and sessions). Now i cant delete the dirs from 
the command line(ssh).  Or from ftp (wftp[interestingly, it shows _All 
privs_ when i view chmod] and win explorer(xp)[which shows all privs for 
'owner' - what i'd expect]. What group did i write it with? Do i have to 
delete the dirs from the web as well?? Now, it appears, 'the web' is the 
owner - i cant change anything with the dir. Anyone do something 
similar(allowing users to upload files and create dirs) I guess what i 
need is 'all' users and will just cross my finders...i'm making sure the 
files are only images.

thanks,  :clueless
