When I download files off the net

The instillation instructions often say change CHOMID :eek: or something spelt similar to that.

How, I know that it is something to do with read / write access but don't know how to change it.

Do I alter the code or is it something that I do to the file with the FTP client that I use.

I need this as I want to add forums, password access and other features to my site.

Can anyone help?

CHMOD -

It changes permissions

Cool but how do I change it do I telnet to my server and

in the appropriate directory type


chmod 0777 file


or what ever they specify in the instructions

sorry for being very dippy!!!

but when your not sure you sometimes have to ask what may seem obvious questions

Quincy

in ftp client you can right click the file and select CHMOD or permissions to set the appropriate attributes.

or from telnet you can use the CHMOD command.

CHMOD 777 file.name
for example.

Thanks

very obvious when you know how

How are you UH- Matt

Im good thanks quincy, hope your site development is coming along nicely :)

Yeah a lttle slow code is clean all lowercase CSS and a bit of Javascript

I am looking to add forums now

and am filming one documentry and one short film for content.

so it is quite busy for me and changes seem slow.

I have added a soapbox to the politics section so people can rant or praise!!!
