how do I Chmod files?

hi, i'm sorta new to php, but, im trying to chmod some files, with the extention, <?php chmod("/directory/filename.php", ###); ?> in the php file, problem is when i upload the files to the server, and then try to access the index, it gives me the installation screen, so what would i have to do to chmod the files, without the install coming up again. if i remove the chmod definition from the file, it works ok, hmmm, any help most appreciated. -KingMidas

What type of software are you using to ftp your files to your server?

Some where in that software you will find a place where you can chmod your files.

 

If you are using WS_FTP Pro Ver 8 all you have to do is right click either your file name or dirctory and then right click properties. and it will bring up the menu to setup your chmod. If you are using the earlier software right click Opertion and not properties
