MT> Quick question:
MT>
MT> What's the chmod to make a file web server writeable?

	chown user:group /path/to/file
	chmod u+w /path/to/file

Let "user" and "group" be the user and group ids, respectively,
under which the webserver runs.

Note that this does not apply if dealing with CGI scripts running
via suEXEC or similar.


MT> What is it to make it world writeable?

	chmod 666 /path/to/file


MT> I just need to make some things clear in my cluttered head.

I hope you're not making world- or webserver-writeable files.
Both are dangerous and bad.  Better ways exist.
