I don't quite understand what you mean about the *NIX line (I'm an XP user and this is run on the perlmonk.org server). I am trying to upload to /home/sulfericacid/public_html/upload/files which has permissions set at: rwxrwxrwx.

I no longer use or die because it kills my script. This was discussed a little in the CB yesterday but on all the scripts I added that line to my entire script crashed and did nothing, but without it the script works :S. Kind of weird but this or die didn't crash the screen, it didn't load any of the text it should have loaded after it.

I have no clue what chown is but I'll take a quick look at that, thanks for your help!
