setting permissions

[wishful]

hi all.

I downloaded PhpLD.
I know this question must sound dumb, but I dont know how to change permissions on files or folders.
it is asking me to do so in the install.txt

I use cpanel (if anyone knows how to do it from there).

Thank you!

numerous ways it can be done. Here is one!

With your FTP program, connect to the site then browse to the file or folder.

Depending on your FTP program
Either right click it and select properties and do this here. The term is called CHMOD. Or find the properties feature in your FTP program.

Now in Cpanel

- Go to File Manager
- Select File or Folder
- In the right panel select CHANGE PERMISSIONS

Now if you on a NON WINDOWS HSphere hosting system you can do this;

- Go to File Manager (maybe called WebShell or something on older versions)
- Select file or folder
- in the right window you will see ACCESS PERMISSIONS

If you are on WINDOWS Host you must put in a trouble ticket or have access to the server.

There will be some variations depending on the software you are using, but this is the jist of it.

Thank you VERY much, that was very helpful.
I was able to do it through cpanel because of your instructions.

I was trying to do it with FileZilla (FTP) but could not figure it out.

Now I will go ahead and see how the installation of phplinksirectory goes :-)

With Filezilla all you would have to do is connect to the server and browse your folders until you find the file or folder you need to CHMOD. Then just right click on it and select properties. A window would open and you would just have to tick the right boxes to set the new permissions.

That's in case you want to use Filezilla rather than CPanel next time, it would be a little easier and quicker.

It worked fine.

I really appreciate the help!
