The first number is for the Owner of the file, the second is the Group setting and the third is for all others.<br /><br />With 755 the owner has full read-write-execute access, Group and other have read-execute access. These can be set simply with the FTP client.<!--content-->
Hi Alan-<br /><br />You can also change the file permissions using CPanel's file manager. When you click on a file, you can then select the permissions command in the upper right menu, and CPanel will give you a three-by-three grid of checkboxes that you can use to set permissions. There's also a helpful <a href="http://www.zachjorgensen.net/za/chmodtutor.html" target="_blank">chmod/permissions tutorial</a> that might come in handy.<br /><br />-Alan<!--content-->
Hey,<br /><br />Thanks schussat And PDABruce.<br /><br />Yes I am using CuteFTP aswell, just didnt understand it, and wanted someone who knows what they are doing explain it to me, so I don't go messing up.<br /><br />Thanks again schussat And PDABruce!<!--content-->
Alan,<br /><br />There are three button on the toolbar labeled a-01, 010 and ab<br /><br />a-01 is auto mode and will uploade in ascii or binary depending on the extensions you have set up as being text only.<br /><br />010 is binary mode and will force anything you upload to be put up in binary mode.<br /><br />ab is ascii mode and will force anything you upload to be put up in ascii (or text) mode.<br /><br />To change permissions on a file using CuteFTP highlight the file on the server and right click and select "Change file attributes". This will open a dialog with check boxes for read-write-execute for owner, group and public permissions. There is also an input box where you can just enter the numerical representation of the check boxes (attributes).<!--content-->
Hmmm, ok now, I change the permissions through the cPanel File Manager, but it doesnt change it, when I click "Change" it just goes back to 644. any hints as to what it is?<br /><br /> I also got smartFTP and dreamweaver's FTP, but I can't change them, I havnt used CGI before incase your wondering lol.<!--content-->
