How to Chmod
Have you ever tried a script and found out you had to chmod a folder or file to make it work? When I first ran into this word I was scratching my head for a week. So just in case you have to chmod here is some visual aid. 

 To chmod using an ftp program right click on the file or folder you need to change permissions on and click chmod.

CHMOD
Select this and another box will pop-up with check-boxes.

CHMOD '775'




example of CHMOD "775"

for 777 click on every box and hit ok.


This is how you determine what the CHMOD setting is. The top row that says "Read" is counted as 4, the second row that says "Write" is counted as 2, and the last row that says "Execute" is counted as 1.

The chmodding example above is from a  free WS Ftp program. It's a little different for the professional version, but the principle is basically the same. In WS Ftp Professional you start out by clicking on properties, and the chmod box or file permissions box will then pop up. It's exactly the same from there.
