wildteen88 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 CHMOD sets perssions which can restrain users from doing certains things on your files/folders. Therer are three groups which are Owner, Group and PublicEach groups has three settings which are Read, Write and Execute. The defualt perssions for your files is usually 0644. You can set these permissions in your FTP client after you have uploaded your files to the server. Once uploaded depending on your FTP client right click on the file and select Properties or Perssions from the menu. A small box should popup and a perssions table should be shown with tickboxes for each read, execute and write settings in each group. If you tick all the read, write and execute tickboxes in all three groups that wil set your file permissions to CHMOD 0777.CHMOD is a much more advanced file permission handler than WIndows persions which is just one setting Read-Only!
