Having trouble with permissions while appending to a file

Does anyone have a link to a discussion on how to set permissions so a php app can append to a file? I am running IIS on Win 2003. Thanks for your help.

I am sure setting the directory mode to 777 would do the trick!.

Actually, you'd be surprised. That only works on *nix based systems, won't work on Windows. Besides, how would you set it? FTP? I don't think Windows-based FTP servers give you that option...

With time all systems shall be the same! For now I agree ftp programs cannot change permissions on win based systems.

Did you know that Microsoft's first OS was unix based? Trying to remember the name!!!! I think it was called Annix?!!

Does anyone remember?
