file-permissions

My web app writes to several folders (logs, uploads, etc), and I've always set these permissions manually through my hosting provider.

I'd like to create a setup script that performs this on new installations. Is this possible under Medium trust?

I can't even call File.GetAccessControl, let alone File.SetAccessControl, but I don't need such a "big hammer", anyway. I just want to do what the ISP (in this case GoDaddy) is letting me do through a management console.

I believe PHP is able to do this, and I'd be willing to consider a PHP page for this purpose if that's possible.
