5. Changing file access permissions See online demo
If you have no knowledge about access permissions please read this section first. Access permissions are used to define who can read (view), write (edit), or execute (run) a file. The most common instance in which you will have to modify the permissions is when you are installing a CGI script. In such cases you will need to change the permissions of a file to 755, this way you allow the script to be executed.
There are three types of users capable of accessing a file (or folder).
First type: Owner (you)
Second type: Group (any specific group of users defined on the network)
Third Type: Others (all other users)
In a Web hosting environment, "Group" is no usually defined so it is the same as "Others", and the second and third numbers of the permission settings are the same.
To modify the access permissions, navigate to the folder on the FTP server which holds files and/or folders you wish to change access permissions for. Select one or more files, open context menu (click the right mouse button on the selection) and click on the "Properties" item (you can also use Alt+Enter shortcut).
This dialog box allows you to set new access permissions:
You can enter the new value by checking (clearing) appropriate check-boxes or by entering the numeric value:
Hit the "Set permissions" button to apply changes you have made.
Note that FTP servers running on Windows computers do not support setting access permissions via CHMOD command. Only FTP servers running a version of the UNIX operating system lets you use CHMOD.
