Hello,

I am about to change hosts...and using WSFTP Pro, I copied and transferred my entire website (all files including vBulletin s/w files) down to my WinXP PC. Tomorrow, I will be uploading the files to my new hosting server.

Okay...the question....will all the files and folders retain their security settings...such as '-rwx---r-x' and the like?

Thanks a lot!!!

No, you'll have to reset them on the new server.

ok...is there a list with all of the vB php files that show their security settings? And in the '777' format vs the '-rwx---r-x' format?

chmod of 755 is fine for most directories. If you need to allow file uploading to certain folders (attachments, avatars, css, custom profile pictures etc.) then use "666", or if that does not work use "777".

There is no list because most servers will set the correct permissions when a file is uploaded. Infact you probably won't have to chmod anything if you're using the database to store user uploads and css.

ok, thanks Brad. I just remember there being the all important files that can't be changed by anyone (except me)...(but I don't know the file names...just that message)

I didn't want to screw myself up...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
