Ave, I do have the original permission set to CHMOD 777 thus the uploads are working fine.
I had presumed that anything uploaded by the server is owned by it thus I wouldn't have to interfere with the permissions thereafter... But somehow that doesn't seem to be working out. I did actually set the permissions for group "nobody" to 'Read & Write'... But I'm still there. The Files or Folders are not getting deleted.
