|
|
What does CHMOD mean?
I downloaded a script and it the documentation it said:
Code: | CHMOD all of the .txt files to 666
CHMOD the 'storage' folder to 777
CHMOD the 'storagedata' folder to 777
CHMOD the 'urltemp' folder to 777 |
What does it mean. I presume it something to do with when you have webspace instead of hosting from your computer?
Any insight would be great.
Thanks. |

CHMOD is simply file permissions. In Windows you don't often have to change anything. In Linux you are more likely to have to change them. _________________ Andy (AbyssUnderground) (previously The Inquisitor)

CHMOD is the Read Write Execute permissions set by your FTP or SSH (sometimes you yourself) program. These permissions determine who can read the file, who can write to it, and who can execute it. Usually 644 for configuration files. &55 for directory's, and 777 for files used by everyone. Windows doesn't use these permissions (to my knowledge) but i know linux is based on these. So if you are using linux you MUST understand these, but if you are using windows, its nothing to get worked up over. I do however recommend that you understand these (in case you have to use them in the future) _________________ Where have i been?

The important thing is NOT with which operating system YOU are working. It is important to know on which OS your server is running.
If your server runs WinVista, you are right ... |
