I don't care much for your vain attitude. But as I said earlier in this
thread, I did ensure that the full path had the required permissions too,
several times even.

Yes, that's correct. *smile* It is usually very reliable, but there is plenty
of room for improvement.

The closest I could ever get to shell access was PHPShell, which is very
barebone and sluggish, for obvious reasons. At the end, I was able to change
the file by changing permissions of the path in question to be writable by
all (temporarily). I am happy to have resolved this.
Thanks very much for the calm(er) response, Michael.
