Change File Permissions on UNIX Servers
You can change file permissions on a UNIX or Linux server using the server pane display or by using the FTP command line.
To change file permissions using the server pane
- Connect to a UNIX or Linux host.
- In the server pane, select one or more files or directories.
- Right-click your selection and choose Properties.
- Change the attributes of the selected item(s) using either of the following techniques:
- In the Permission Mode box, type a three digit number that is a valid value for the UNIX chmod command. Valid values have digits from 0 to 7.
- Under Owner, Group, and Public, select options to allow each user type permission to read, write, or execute.
- Click OK.
To change file permissions using the FTP command line:
- Connect to a UNIX or Linux host.
- Press F7 to display the command line if it is not already visible.
- Enter a UNIX chmod command using a numeric permission mask.
For example, the following commands sets attributes to -rw-r--r-- for the specified file.
chmod 644 myfile.htm
Note: Permissions changes you make to directories are not recursive; that is they do not affect the files within the directory.
