Permissions on that directory are what? Does the file already exist?
Permissions on the existing file (particularly since you seem to change
permissions after a previous upload)? Which is line 80, presumably the 4th line
in your post?

Actually, it "works" with a patch of changing the folder where the files are
stored to 777 via FTP. That is a very bad solution, but it's all I can
think of to allow for file uploading.

That's not a patch, that's how file permissions work in Unix

If the webserver isn't in your group, you could change the permissions
to 707 for a slight security increase

I cannot come up with a working solution considering the architecture (your
basic UNIX platform), it's either I set the directory permissions to 777 and
then I can upload with any PHP script and never VIEW the files, or set the
directory permissions to 777, add .htaccess and .htpasswd, then everyone
that has to log in has to, again, provide username and password to view
files, much less upload them..

I honestly don't know what to do. Oh, did I mention I'm only getting $80 US
out of this?

Permission denied for me via FTP to change permissions to 707. I am not
kidding.

Well we're getting $0.00 USD of it this. If you charge for programming, you
should at least know how to use UNIX properly.

Presumably because you're not the owner of the file, the user that the
webserver runs as is. Only the owner, or root, can change file permissions.
