Drupal version 5.0.

I tried to upload a few files. Although I got an "Upload Seccuess" message, I can not find the files. I even looked with my ftp client (filezilla).

The uploaded files should be in my /files/webfm directory. I see files in my /files directory, but they have names like webfm_0, web_fm1.

Although I was logged on as Admin, and the directory settings were 755, the uploads did not work. However when I changed the directory setting to 777, the uploads worked. I hate having to have everything wide open like. But it did at least work.

I would suspect this has nothing to do with fileshare but with the apache webserver running as a user different from the drupal user. In filezilla, login to your site's directory, click the owner/group settings and see what you observe there. If you see owner/group for the files as anything other than your hosting account's username/username, then the problem is confirmed. This happens when apache is run as a php module (mod_php). If it is run as CGI using phpsuexec, all accounts are automatically run as username/username and you will not have this problem.
