 Posted: Mon 19 Jun '06 15:18 Post subject: Setting permissions "CHMOD" on my Win2003 Apache w |
 |
|
Is it possible to set CHMOD permissions on a folder on my website? I tried by using an ftp program ( smartftp ) and clicking permissions on the folder and trying to set 777 permissions on it, but it does not seem to want to.
If it is possible, please let me know how to get this done. |

| You can use ftp chmod on Windows. But becarefull. unix 777 is on Windows 666. Than is should work correcly. |

Does not seem to work for Windows2003 running Apache server 2.2
Not sure why, when I try to do it using an ftp client, it says
SITE CHMOD 777
500 UNKNOWN COMMAND
then when I check it again, it resets back to 755 |

I got Apache 2.2 runnig on Windows 2k3.
I use the chmod command in PHP, sorry maybe that don't work from the ftp client.
Why you need 777? Normaly the file have the right permission from windows.
Normaly you set the permission as Steffen told with the right click menu. => Properties |

| I have never had to CHMOD on windows. Everything is writeable by PHP and other scripts from the second they're uploaded, I believe. |

See also at the the top at www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=22 , it is stated there that CHMOD is not working on windows .
I advise to skip that step (I always do). Should work, because in windows folders are writeable by default.

| Windows (all versions) do not support CHMOD. CHMOD is used on UNIX platforms. |
