If you're running Abyss on Windows, there is no chmod command. Chmod is only for Linux/BSD/etc based installs.

Oh But I have a Gastbook and on lycos it works. But on abyss i'm unable to send any messages to the gastbook. (It uses no mysql but saves the messages in a php file.) And I know that I have to change these files on lycos to "chmod 666". I'm running windows.

I think these "chmod 666" is the problem that my gastbook thos not work.

It's the system running the server that decides whether chmod is available, not what OS you're running to connect.

So for example, you're running Abyss on a Windows machine. There is no chmod in Windows so there is no need to chmod files when instructed in a script.

You connect to Lycos's ftp server running on a non Windows machine. Chmod is available to you *on that machine*.

You cannot chmod your files on your Abyss server if you are running the Windows version.

There is no actual CHMOD on Windows, but you can resemble it.

The number is broken down into three groups.
The first digit is for "Owner," the second digit is for "Group," and the third is for "Other."
7 = Read, Write, and Execute
6 = Read and Write
5 = Read and Execute
4 = Read Only
3 = Write and Execute (I see no purpose for that)
2 = Write Only (I see no purpose for that either)
1 = Execute Only
0 = Nothing (They just had to include that, didn't they...?)

So with that, you can now figure out the Windows equivilent of CHMOD.
Example:
775: Owner can Read, Write, and Execute; Group can Read, Write, and Execute; Other can only Read and Execute.

umm this doesnt help me

I need to chmod somthing to 777 (Read write and excicute all i know)

I have looked all over for somthing to do this (im sure windows can do it somewhere (maybe in the editing of somthing else) ) i dont know and i need to know

Any help please

First, why do you need to? If it is because something tells you to, then you can normally ignore it. And having 777 permissons with Windows is usually standard.

You can change the file propperties in the properties menuof the file (Richt click on it and in the menu Properties)

Its also sometimes possible to change it in your webserver software.

yes there is chmod for windows, go download "CUTEFTP", and access the file through ftp, and then u can CHMOD,

No, because once you hit "CHMOD," the FTP Server will respond with "Invalid Command."
