A non-root user cannot change the ownership of someones else's file. One way to solve this problem is to have both users be a member of the same group and allow group access to the files. Since you are using the group oinstall now, you may want to create a separate group for this.
Set the primary group for the account that is executing the download (appstst1 in this case) to that new group so that the files are created with that group ownership. If you want the secondary user to also be able to delete/rename/etc these files then you should also set the umask in the script prior to performing the download
This will set permissions on new files/directories created during that session to 770.

?>
NOTES
Note
This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.
Note
When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories being operated upon have the same UID (owner) as the script
that is being executed.
Note
This function is not implemented on Windows platforms.
