How can I change permissions on my files?
|
If you are using FTP software, there is usually a menu option or button that says "Change Permissions," click this option. You have choices of R(read), W(write), and X(execute)*.
If you are using a command line utility such as PuTTy, you need to use the "chmod" command. If you want to give read permissions, use the command: chmod 744 yourfileto give execute permissions*, use the command: chmod 755 yourfileto give read/write permissions, use the command: chmod 766 yourfileto give all permissions, use the command: chmod 777 yourfile *If you are changing permissions for scripts in Perl/CGI, you need to make sure they have execute permissions.
