    Hi all, I am trying to copy files from one domain to another on my client's Cpanel server (with PHP).

    But I am running into permissions problems. I can get it to work if I bash chmod the domain (to be copied to) to 777, but otherwise, I can't get it to work.

    What kind of permissions/setup for the main account (which host's the files) - Or how, can I accomplish this sort of thing?

    Thanks

    How are you trying to copy the files? If you do not have access to server, you need to download them on your machine and upload under the second domain.

    If you have access to the server as root, you can simply execute the cp command to copy the files.

    cp -aRf /home/username/source /home/username1/destination

    If you do a copy in shell, don't forget to change the ownerships to the new account username.
