PHPRunner General questions

I am in the process of moving my site to a new server and during the course of trying to move the image files that have been uploaded through the PHPRunner created application, I ran into an issue with the ownership of the fullsized images. When the images are uploaded and the thumbnails created, they get two different sets of permissions, thumbnails get 644 and full size get 600.
When I try to copy my files from the old server to the new (or any other location for that matter), I get a permission denied error for the full sized images. The thumbnails copy just fine however. Any suggestions on how I am going to get my data from the old server to my new one?
And is there any specific reason for having the FS images have a different security setting? I understand that most times people wouldn't be moving the files around from server to server, but this is kind of a bummer of an issue to not be able to copy my images.
Also, I have tried to chmod the files to 644 and since they are owned by apache, and not my user ID, I again get a permission denied message.
Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.
I believe I built this project most recently with 3.1 build 207.

Hi,
you can change the access rights on newly uploaded files manually in PHPRunner created files.
Open your ..._add.php file and find this snippet there:

foreach ($files_move as $file)

move_uploaded_file($file[0],$file[1]);



Replace it with:

foreach ($files_move as $file)

{

move_uploaded_file($file[0],$file[1]);

chmod($file[1],0777);

}



Then find all occurencies of this one:

if(file_exists($file))

@unlink($file);

$th = fopen($file,"w");

fwrite($th,$thumb);

fclose($th);



and insert this line just after:

chmod($file,0777);


This will allow you to access uploaded files by both HTTP and FTP.

Thanks Alexy, I'll try and patch up the code before going any further. Now to figure out how to get the images that are already on the server....
