FTP Strange Error !

[0lgi]

Hello Dear Friends !

Im trying to change permissions of my files using CHMod/Properties (SmartFTP) but the problem is that when i try to do so i get this error

500 'SITE CHMOD 777 e107_config.php': command not understood[/quote]

I also tried Cute FTP but the same error ?

Is there any other way to chmod the files ?

Thanks

Olgi

Are you on Windows hosting? Windows doesn't have a CHMOD function because it doesn't have file permissions settings. Everything is editable and readable by PHP, so it's unnecessary to CHMOD any files.

e107 is a PHP script. (hint: config.php)

This has nothing to do with Windows or anything.
You are trying to do a SITE CHMOD, not just a CHMOD.

By default, if you are using ProFTPd, the config file has this part :

# Bar use of SITE CHMOD by default
<Limit SITE_CHMOD>
  DenyAll
</Limit>

As you can see, its disabled by default, and many FTP servers do the same.

Thats not correct.

Thats not correct.

'chmod' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I code PHP all the time on my computer (Windows) and never have problems with permissions (because it doesn't use them).

I havent said Windows runs on chmod, I have said it is not correct that Windows doesnt have file permissions and this is still true. The fact that you do not have problems is either because you are always logged in as Administrator or you are working only on files you have permissions to.

As opposed to creating another account, protecting it, then trying to edit it from another account?

Sorry, I am not sure what you meant.
