Chmod 777? please help?

[Danny Diamond]

What is this and how to I work with it. Files are constantly saying....

Next Chmod the /arcade/ directory and all its subfolders to 0777



Can someone give me an example of how or what this is all about?

In your FTP Client right click on the folder you want CHMOD click on Properties / CHMOD and set the correct settings

Thanks man, that answered my question exactly.

Is there another way of doing this? My FTP client doesn't seem to allow me to do so. I'm using Ipswitch WS_FTP Pro as my client.

Can I do this from my server without my FTP client? I've been trying to use GARS & GAB and they both need to be CHMOD'ed.

I'm at a loss.

Try ftp surfer. I have used it off and on. Use it long enough to chmond and switch back to whatever you want.

You can absolutely do it with WS_FTP. Right click on the file/folder you want to change, and pick Properties.

If you're doing it on your server, just navigate to the folder that contains what you want, and:

chmod 777 the.filename

Sweet, thanks for the help guys. I figured out how to change the file using the FTP client.
