|  CHMOD Tutorial
What is CHMOD?
CHMOD stands for ChangeMode, which allows you to change access permissions for files.
For Linux servers or host's with Linux servers, whichever is the case, CHMODing is required if you want to install scripts.
Ok, I Know What CHMOD Is Now, How Do I Use It?
First you must have either a FTP (File Transfer Protocal) program or have CPanel installed on your/your host's server.
Once you have one or the other there are two different sets of instructions:
FTP Instructions
After you have uploaded your script/file, right click on the file on the side thats on your server and click properties (For WS_FTP).
You will see something like this :
Owner Group World
Read
Write
Execute
For most scripts you need to set it to 777. To do this, you would check the boxes like this:
Owner Group World
Read * * *
Write * * *
Execute * * *
Note: * = Checked Box
CHMOD options are used with values, the following example shows the values of each check box
Read = 4
Write = 2
Execute = 1
The values together equal 7, so if your script requires 777 then that means that you need to equal 7 in each box.
CPanel Instructions
After you have logged into CPanel, go to File Manager, after that comes up, find your script/file that needs CHMODing and click on it.
A list of options will appear on your left reading:
Delete this folder and all files under it
Rename this folder
Change Permissions
Move this folder
Copy this folder
Click on Change Permissions and a small list of more options will appear:
Owner Group World
Read * * *
Write * * *
Execute * * *
Note: * = Checked Box
As explained before about values, set them as your instructions require and you should be good to go!
