Unable to change permissions on uploaded files

[MasterKaos]

I've used PHP to handle file uploads of image files and write them to a directory that has permission 777:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], "../images/accomodation/".$image_id.$extension);

The uploaded images are displayed alright by the browser, but i can't read them using FTP. Checking their permissions they are set to 600. Right clicking them and changing their permisions using WS FTP Pro does nothing.

So i tried using a PHP script to change the permissions:

if ($handle = opendir('images/accomodation')) 
{
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) 
	{ 
        echo "$file\n";
		chmod ("images/accomodation/" . $file, 0766);
    }
    closedir($handle); 
}

But when i run the script i get the error:
"Warning: chmod(): Permission denied in /home/ausget/public_html/chmods.php on line 8"

I don't get it, if PHP created the files, why does it not have permission to chmod them? How can i chmod all the existing files so that i can use FTP to copy them? Oh and the path and stuff is correct because the script outputs the correct filenames.

try chmoding the folder that you are copying to. I had to do that when i upload files!
