Permission writing without chmod()

Is there anything else I could do to a dir/file to change the permissions apart from using chmod?. I noticed a few problems with different server setups and I need to repair it immediately.

Regards

chmod, chown and chgrp are generally all you require to set permissions for directories/files.

Is this files/directories that your scripts are creating? you may want to have a look at umask().

Failing that you could also consider performing many of your file functions via FTP functions.
