You want to allow the user to save the file ANYWHERE they want ? This is not a good idea. Does you web server authenticate the user at all ?
The server is a simple XAMP Apache
- don't worry - the cgi-programm that must allow the user to do this has a auth-system (user enters the password before he gets to the area of allowed actions). Actually I have already released this programm's version for windows - it was much easier, certainly because of NFS-problems absence.
So I understand I must use "chmod()" - to change the directory's permissions. But how this programm will be able to do this, if it runs as a "nobody" Smilie ? So I see the
user will have to do this manually or I should find another solution...

OK. If you are authenticating them and you wish to run a command as another user besides 'nobody' then do some research on CGIWRAP. This is a "wrapper" program that is setuid root and can switch over to another user to do the type of thing you describe. In one of my past jobs, we actually used this to run UNIX commands as the actual user instead of the web server login.
