Guest Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 You chmod'd the images directory? Did the permissions stick ? - sometimes they don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrememc Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 What is chmod? I have been hearing about this but haven't found any good info in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 chmod is basically a unix command that tells a file or folder how much permission to grant... Read Write Execute Permission by user, group and everyone Normally you can do it through an ftp client by right-clicking and under properties If you have a control panel, you might be able to do it there also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrememc Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 I used filezilla and right click on the folder and then set the permission to 777 and then read, write, excute persmission to owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Go back to the folder and see if it still says 777 I've seen in some cases, where it didn't stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrememc Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Yes it did stick. Another question that has been raised is. When I set the permission to 777 to a directory. Does that allow me to write to any folder in the directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
