Flat File Permissions

[jabi]

When the events are written to a flat file, what permissions are granted to the file?

My new host writes php scripts with permissions assigned to user "nobody" so I can't back up the file via ftp. Host offers php cgi-wrap but if it's not needed I'd rather avoid the overhead on the server.

The script doesn't create the file for you (older versions did) so the permissions are assigned by the user when uploading the file to the server (usually 646).

Great! Thanks again, Brian.
