 Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2003 4:26 pm Post subject: Setting read/write permssions |
 |
|
ASP tutorials talk about setting read and write permission for files. I'm sure I used to be able to do this within IIS, but now I have a new PC with XP Home on it I'm using Abyss and can't work out how to do this, or if I need to do it at all (I'm not having much luck with ASP pages yet!).
If I right-click on a file (whether it be an ASP page or an Access database) I get two tabs - General and Summary. I have the option of making a file read only on the General tab, but is that what "setting read and write" permissions is about?! |

In order to set file permissions, you have to access your site through FTP using an FTP client of your choice. 8)
Then you simply right-click on the file you want to set permissions to and you select the permissions you want (e.g 755).... :arrow:

You can probably safely avoid read/write permissions on Windows. Chances are if your told anything about chmodding (chmod) a file or directory keep in mind that instruction is really intended for *nix systems only...
If you're on Windows you should be safe enough to avoid it. Worst comes to worst use Explorer and navigate to the file in question...
I don't believe you'll ever really have to worry about read/write on Windows... Good luck :)

|
|
| Vader - just to clarify, then - if I'm just testing files via Abyss on my local PC (ie not on Brinkster, which is where they'll go eventually) I don't need to do anything about setting permissions? |

Vbgunz is correct, the only thing you may need to do is ensure the read-only flag is not checked.
