Just type 'chmod 777 <filename>'
To change all the files in a directory, type 'chmod 777 * '
I am not sure with the version of ws_ftp you have but you should beable to right click the filename you need to alter and look for file permisssions or properties then either enter 777 or check all the boxes which gives you read write and execution permission for THAT filename, don't give this permisssion to all your files for security purposes.
Or get FileZilla ftp (which is free) and makes these operations simple as shown above but ws_ftp should accomplish that some way or another. For example, you have the files you need to change in a directory as '/var/www/htdocs/upload' You need to open a console and type: 1. 'su' ------------> prompts for your root password (assuming all the files are currently owned by root). After typing the password, the prompt will change from '$' to '#' 2. 'cd /var/www/htdocs/upload' ----------> Changes your current directory to the directory containing the files. This is an example 3. 'chmod 777 * ' ----------> Change permissions for all the files or instead of '*', just type in the name of the file like: 'chmod 777 index.html' 4. 'exit' ------------> To get out of 'root' mode. 5. 'exit' ------------> To exit the console. If the files are owned by the user you use to login, you can omit step 1. Alternatively, you can also open 'Konqueror', browse to the directory, and then right-click and select 'properties' under which there is a tab called 'permissions'. I think that should let you change the permissions without a console, but I usually use the console. This should help you out. Let me know if you need anymore clarifications.
Sorry for double posting, but is this something specific to an ftp client? What I've posted is for changing the permissions for any file.
ya i dont know how to chmod files using the ws_ftp 2006 pro client
Well with most FTP clients you right click the file and type in the digits that are required. If you can't do this then I suggest changing your FTP server. I recommend to you FileZilla or SmartFTP for free ones, but if you want a paid one then get CuteFTP. Hope this helps, good luck.
where is the console to ws_ftp??

After all, if that is permitted, anyone who finds the ftp website can make files there writeable, and add viruses to them, for example.  Of course, at astahost, you use ftp with your name and your password (the same name and password as for your cpanel). If the name or the password is not correct, astahost's ftp server does not allow you to to connect. I see that anonymous ftp is also allowed at astahost. However, this account is useless, because it reaches an empty folder, you can only upload in the "incoming" subfolder. And the ".ftpquota" shows that astahost protects himself from anonymous ftp's overloads.

you can use a ftp client... it's more easy! =)
you can loose something or do something wrong using commands. some ftp clients: - WS FTP - Cute FTP - FlashFXP and much more.. try to search for someone =P QUOTE(rockarolla @ Feb 5 2008, 08:53 AM) Why don't you log in with a shell (for example putty) and chmod from command line? The otherway is to use Total Commander client - there you will have a command line text box (default at the bottom) from where you can execute command provided you have the premission therefore. You are right, "chmod -R ugo+rwx ." would do the job. Unfortunately, here at astahost, the free hosting plan does not provide command line login, putty in ssh mode is included only in the paid plans (I know that, my ssh account just disappeared).
