In this public hoster environment every file that's beeing created by a php script is then owned by the unix user "wwwrun". That's nothing that can be changed and I do not have access to this user account (it's managed and owned by the provider). This of course means that every further manipulation of a directory or file owned by wwwrun must be done by this user i.e. by a php script. (e.g. I cannot delete or move a file via FTP client as my FTP user account does not have the necessary write rights.)
If I do the upload via FTP the JPEGs are of course owned by my FTP user account and the php "user" will have read access only (unless I would grant the user/group "everyone" full access -> chmod 777 to the JPEGs, which - I think - is not a good idea anyway.)
So my question here is: Does V2 force me to only use the php interface to upload (move, delete,...) images or may I stick with me preferred method of uploading files via FTP and are there any (severe) limitations that I would need to consider?
So,... are there limitatins that just would hinder me from using some not mandatory features or would using an FTP client (which would grant the V2 php script just read access to the JPEGs) break the concept of V2?
In one sentence: Would using FTP for uploading in this scenario be supported?
I hope I was able to make my point clear and would really appreciate if someone could give me some insight here!
Thanks!
