Answer 1

chmod is a UNIX/Linux command to set file permissions. The 777 setting is actually an odd one to use for a script that will be accessible on the web. I'd probably go with 755 or 775.



Essentially 777 will set the permissions to

-rwxrwxrwx



755 would be

-rwxr-xr-x



while 775 would be

-rwxrwxr-x



The first "-" is file type so this is a normal file (other typical values would be "d" for directory or "l" for link).



The next 3 values are for the file owner so it would be r = read, w = write, and x = execute for the owner. The 2nd set of 3 values is for the "group" setting on the account. The "-" represents the lack of a permission so r-x means read and execute, no write access. The 3rd set of 3 values is for "everyone" access. Generally you give the most restrictive values to lock down the file.



As for how to set it up on your webhost, this really depends on the operating system for your webhost. The .pl extension can be used on UNIX, Linux, or MS Win32 systems as long as the appropriate software is available to run it. On MS Win32 systems you'd just want to ensure the file associations are set correctly and the permission is set for users to read/execute the file. For UNIX/Linux systems you would just use the chmod command to set the permissions (generally the shell environment has this in the path but you may need to locate it...try /sbin/chmod or /bin/chmod).



Hope that helps. If not, post additional details.

Hi there, Changing the chmod is the same thing as changing the permissions. In SmartFTP.... How To CHMOD file/folder(s) 1. To change a file's permissions, left-click on the file or directory to highlight it. 2. Right-click on the file and a pop-up menu appears. Choose "CHMOD" and type in the number manually (ex: 444) or use the check boxes. 3. You can also enable the "Command Line" window, which will allow you to send raw commands directly to the server. 4. To find the "Command Line" select View > Toolbars > Command Line from the SmartFTP menu. The "Command Line" when enabled, will be viewable under the "Log View" window. Doing steps 1 & 2 should get the results you need. Hope that helps, good luck with it!

Answer 3

It means full permissions. If your using an FTP client usually you can right-click on the file after upload and there is a CHMOD option, or if your using a browser based upload, check your hosts FAQ's because all hosts vary.



If you can give me more detail, just e-mail me ([e-mail]) and Ill be more than happy to help

Answer 4

From a terminal, type



chmod nph-proxy.pl 777



chmod is a *nix command. It makes the file read-write-execute for everyone.



If it's a Windows server, make sure that the file isn't read-only, and that the user Everyone has all rights to it - that's the Windows equivalent.
