I am trying to write to a text file but I believe my permissions on the directory are incorrect and so are not allowing me to do so. My return value that write() returns is a number greater than 0 and appears to be the number of bytes which I am trying to write and the file is successfully created. However, when I run "ls -l" on this file I see that there are no permissions set what so ever and there is no data in the file. My open call is using the flags O_RDWR | O_CREAT also
You mean the first part of ls -l output is "--------"? That would be a problem (and sort of strange).Quote:

Maybe post your whole open line...Code:chmod(file,O_IWRITE|O_IREAD);
Yep, MK that is what the output is on the ls command. I am locking the server program itself to ensure there are no more than one copy of it running at a time but this shouldn't have any effect on the creation of this file would it?
