CMS and permissions on Unix

Hi all!

I have a problem with using CMS systems on my Unix systems.
The problem is this:
- i upload my CMS through FTP. Ownership of the files uploaded is myaccout:myaccount.
- I start working with the CMS and all the content (templates, components, modules, etc) that are added through the CMS are owned by httpd:httpd.
- Now i want to change some of that content. For example i want to upload a new image in my templates. Upload goes through FTP hence done by myaccount:myaccount and since the files are now owned by httpd:httpd i cannot overwrite these files by using FTP.

When you go into Live Chat with Jodo, they will change the ownership to my account, but i don't think that i should ask them to intervene every time i upload new content.

How do you people solve this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Ton.
 
Ton, which CMS are you using? Also, it's not a CHMOD issue is it? - Unix is pretty foreign to me but I have uploaded and set up the Mango CMS before and I set the permissions using CHMOD and have had no problems.
 
What CMS are you using? I've done Mambo and phpWebSite here, plus X-Cart and Zen Cart, without similar problems. I'm just chmod'ing the files after uploading them, ignoring whatever ownerships are set. I haven't had any similar problems.

I'm using Joomla (former Mambo). But what do you do then? You configure Joomla/Mambo to CHMOD all files uploaded to 777 so they can be overwritten by everybody?
How is that security-wise then?
