Writing file into another domain

[WebmasterA]

Hello,

I have a cgi script that in web browser creates an html file and saves it on the server.
What I need to do is to move it or originally save it on another domain. the domain is on the same server.

How do I do that?

Thank you

Use an absolute path

open FH, "/home/httpd/vhtdocs/domainb/myfile.htm";
print FH "$myfilecontent";
close FH;

permissions on the other "domain" directory could be an issue

Permissions is the issue. That is pretty much what my question is about. I kno whow to write a file into another directory but how to work with permissions I do not.

Are there different web users for both domains?

[WebmasterA]

Yes two different users. But I am doing it trough the web so ...
My web site is writing out a file. I need to write it on another domain. The other domain is on the same server.

I can do two ways:

1. Write directly to another domain.
2. Write on same domain and then transfer to another domain.

THe question is how to implement either way ? I have secuty access problem.

Thank you

if it's Linux you can possibly chmod it to 777. Just a suggestion [tt][/tt]

Domain - so it's NT or later.

I'm struggling to remember -- on the target domain you have to grant rights to the on the source domain?

Thanks for replies guys.

I am going to try change permissions to see if it works.

All the tasks are performed on Linux box.
