Depends on which machine you're talking about. For my desktop, all the
subdirs are owned paulf.paulf and perms are drwxr-xr-x. I'm connecting
to spaceghost (the server) as user paulf. The subdirs there are owned
root.web, and perms are the same.

One problem here is that my wife (on her Windows) machine must also be
able to rwx the files. In her case, the directory is shared under Samba,
which I haven't tested yet. But it means that there are certain avenues
unavailable to me, since Windows doesn't have much of the software we
take for granted on Linux. Solving the permissions problem on my machine
is the first step. Oddly, in getting the permissions problem, I don't
see a log that details the problem anywhere on spaceghost.
