"root server" normally refers to root access to a (dedicated) server, not a website, and would be via ssh which requires you to know linux quite well; 2. changing permission is a subject that has been asked numerous times on the osc forums; 3. it depends on your host, sometime you can do it in FTP, but more likely in cPanel; 4. why you want to change it to 777? which is a bit of being suicidal.

GemRock Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 in that case, windows file manager or what it is now called windows explorer would do the job. right click on the file then properties, clear the read only box. after all, its your pc, i suppose you can get to anywhere you like on your pc, cant you?
