Hi,
I have let users upload files to my site, and now i have to move the site to another server.
In order to do this i have to get all the images that they have uploaded and re-upload them to this other server, problem is that i cant download them because they have been set to an ownership of 600 (owner read and write) and i cannot download any of these files (and there are alot)
Does anyone know of a way to get these files off the server by FTP?

If you don't have root access so that you can reset the ownership of the files, I would contact your host's support dept and ask them to reset the ownership on them to you.

It will take them all of about 5 seconds. Then you can download them via ftp.
