After installing phpformgenerator I wanted to change the look of the form I had made. After making all the changes to the file I went to upload but got a 550 access denied on my FTP program. After doing a bit of reading in the forums here I found the problem was with the ownership of the file. When phpformgenerator creates the files they are asssigned to the owner "nobody". This is why you can't change permissions, delete or upload the edited form.
**Question** How does my host fix this issue so that it assigns new forms to the admin and not to "nobody".
**Fix** Here is the fix that I used to change the permissions of the file in order to delete and upload the new file. While it did work it did not change the ownership from "nobody". Big thanks to 2inept for the post.
I think when the script generates your new forms the script runs under the server permissions and the newly created files are also under that user.
This is why you can't delete them with an FTP command.
You could go to http://wacker-welt.de/webadmin/ and download the webadmin.php form, upload it to your webspace and then use your browser to open the php file. This then allows you to view and edit files on the server, and because the server is doing the deleting the permissions are OK.
Hope this helps..

Also make sure to delete webadmin.php from your server when you are done. It is a huge security risk as it allows you to change permissions, move and delete files without a username or password.
