General Info General
Info Certain FTP clients such as Cute FTP and WS/FTP Pro allow for a chmoding directly within FTP. To do this you would highlight the file that you want to use, and select from the command menu "change file permissions." There is on option for "manual." This is where you will enter the desired CHMOD. Many other FTP clients will support CHMODing as well, we recommend checking the documentation. Reasons
for CHMODING List of
CHMOD's and what they mean chmod 755 filename The file is available for Read, Write, and Execute for the owner; and Read and Execute only for the group and world. chmod 644 filename The file is available for Read and Write for the owner, and Read only for the group and world. chmod 666 filename The file is available for Read and Write for the owner, group, and world. I wonder if the 666 number is just a coincidence. Anybody can create havoc with your files with this wide-open permission mask. |
