Setting Permissions
Introduction
The installation of a custom script often requires a special file permission; in some instances it may be necessary to set a file or directory permission.
We highly recommend using the FTP client, WSFTP. You can used WS_FTP to set any numeric chmod permission setting.
How to use the WSFTP "SITE" command
- Open the WSFTP program and connect to your web site.
- Click your right mouse button.
- Select "FTP commands" from the FTP Menu.
- Enter the desired chmod command in the SITE command field.
Example
Suppose you were preparing to enable anonymous FTP and you needed to disable public write access to a file named sample.htm. the WSFTP SITE command is used.
The command to set public write
access OFF is: chmod 750 <filename>
Follow the instructions above to display the SITE command field and enter the desired chmod command as shown here.
If the file in question resides in a subdirectory of your web site, you will first need to open the respective subdirectory before issuing the SITE command.
