Hi,

The only way to get a file owned by your user and 600 is if you use a cgi wrapper like CGIwrap or SUexec. Otherwise, the server needs to be able to read (and if you use the online editor, also write) to the file and it needs to be 644 or 666.

If you are on a shared server with open CGI access, you are taking a risk as anyone can view anyone elses files. You might want to consider a dedicated machine if you need to keep things absolutely secure.

Cheers,

Alex
