Interesting.  Thanks Tim!

I'll see if I can give that a try.

Cheers,

A potential risk is that copy() will overwrite same-named files while move_uploaded_file() won't.  That probably won't be an issue for me since I'm deleting the file (via unlink() ) after I InsertFromURL it into an FM container field.  And/or maybe I can temporarily modify the file name &/or additional folder with something unique to remove any possibility of unwanted overwriting.

The problem is when Windows copies that file, it keeps the temporary directory’s permissions and doesn’t inherit your web directory’s permissions."  But setting most of the existing Windows accounts/objects in Windows\Temp to Full Control doesn't fix the problem.
