♥geoffreywalton Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 ftp is a geeky way of saying file transfer protocol. You can change permissions of files and directories using an ftp client such as filezilla. You can also change permissions using your hosting company's control panel, ask them how to do it. You could also load a contribution that allows you to set permissions from your shop admin area.
