What permission do I set? I have tried setting it to 444 but to no avail.

I cannot seem to change the permissions. When I do it, it resets back to 666. Tried using Cpanel File Manager to do it and also my SmartFTP to do it but to no avail.

I use my ftp client and right click on the file name, the bottom option is change permissions/chmod. That gives the ability to check or uncheck hte permissions I want or need. The only other thing I can think of it might be, is if you are logging in as someone other than the administrator or superuser, you may not have permission to change the permissions on the file.

If it's reverting back it could mean your hosting company isn't allowing you to set persmissions. I'd get on the phone to them and tell them you need to set 755 permissions.

I think you meant 644, or 444, correct?

Yes, I meant 644. Thanks for that correction!
