file permissions

[needsomehelp]

I have no problem with logged in users uploading images to the site, without having to change the permissions of the folder they are saved to. But with another function elsewhere i get an error about filesize stat.
After googling i find that this error is normally due to the folder that is being referenced is not writable. But I do not know the correct setting to use that is safe but still allow the users to upload.

My uploader script gets the image details and resizes it and save it to a randomly generate (unique) filename.

Can anyone tel me what I should be setting the permissions of the folder to.

0777 should be your permissions for anything your writing to. if filesize isnt working it is because your read permissions arent set. Try chmod to change the files permissions to 0666.
