Do you have any idea on how I'd check to see if this number actually belongs to me or not? I don't run the web server and people have been directing me to /etc/passwd lately but that won't help any.
I meant that the folder is created but when I connect using SSH I have no rights to add, move, delete, rename anything about the folder itself. Now I have folders I can't get rid of until I figure out how to change the ownership.

Do a ls -ld on the folder, or ls -l on the files.
You should get output like the following:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pgunn users 143 Apr 17 14:09 titler
drwxr-xr-x 11 pgunn users 2048 Apr 18 12:18 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 3 pgunn users 2048 Mar 13 10:22 tmpmy
-rw------- 1 pgunn patlocal 446033 Nov 26 09:33 vim_documentation.pdf
-rw------- 1 pgunn users 3219465 Feb 11 10:14 why_good_companies_go_bad.pdf
The third field is the owner, the fourth is the group.

Sorry, I don't know how to do a ls -rd or ls -l. Someone told me yesterday in the CB this one a one-line perl program but I've never seen or heard of such things and have no idea on how to accompish them. Is that what this is? (not sure if it matters but this is on a webserver I don't own)
