numero = 59475

texte = This advice is absolutely correct. You should think about security before setting a 777 permissions level. If only webdna or apache needs the file, then change the owner (chown) to www or apache as appropriate for your OS. Then set permissions (chmod) so that the owner can read/write and others can only read (or not). Look for a basic book on Unix or check online for an appropriate site. Others are always trying to hack into your server and only need one slightly cracked door to enter.

The directory where you're trying to put the file just needs write permissions for the www user. Example: if the file is owned by www, you could simply make the permissions 644.
