external USB Drive

[Kevin Waterson]

I have an external USB drive (fat32) and I can read and
write to it from the command line but cannot do so
when using php from the browser. the perms are 0755
on the external drive and will not allow me to
change them.
requested: 0777, actual: 0755): Operation not permitted

any suggestions how I can move files about on the external
drive using the browser/php?

Kind regards
Kevin
