Re: How to execute bash(.sh) files in cake php

i have a related problem
using exec('rm xyz') i can delete any (own) file (www-data/apache)
but how i can i delete a file which has been uploaded with ftp and
under a different username (e.g. "ftpaccount")?

i tried everything
from "sudo rm xyz" to "password | sudo -S rm xyz"

i also tried writing a bash script. same result

nothing seemed to work
the problem is that you are usually prompted for the password
but with php and exec() you usually can't insert this into the shell

any ideas?
