You could publish a drive from the OSX machine (which I am assuming has an NFS feature), then map that drive on the Mac, have a folder event trigger the conversion and then move the file to another directory. WC could then watch that second directory for files and store them where you want. You might also want to investigate GIMP, with is an image processing application that runs on most Unix's (don't know for certain but www.gimp.org has details on requirements).> > That would obviously compromise the whole point of UNIX security in the > first place.

WebCat should be always operated with a user with few permissions, like all Unix daemons. It should be straightforward to write a script which will fix the rights after a file has been uploaded. If you are only concerned with setting the rights, you can look at your FTP program for file mask settings.Hope this gives you some ideas...John Peacock############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
