I need "apache" and my username to share access to a directory because my
php script creates directories within a directory.

For example the directory /home/html/mysite/files, I want apache to be able
to create directories and file and I need to see those files and directories
when I use WinSCP using my username to login.

Currently, I did this and it allows the script to write directories:
chown username:apache files

I use WinSCP (which logs in using username) to check out what's inside those
directories and it errors out, permission denied.

Any ideas are much appreciated!

If you are going to have the group as apache anyway, then just you could
just add your username to that group:

usermod -aG apache username

- NL
