How do I CHMOD using my FTP client?

This procedure may vary between FTP clients. Please refer to the relevant manual for details. Your chosen FTP programme may not have a CHMOD feature. In this case, look for a feature where you can type a command directly to the FTP server. You can then type your command in the format of 'site chmod 755 file.pl', where the mode of file.pl is changed to 755.

If you are using the WS_FTP FTP client, connect to your site and enter the directory containing the script you need to CHMOD. Right click the file or folder in question and select 'chmod (UNIX)' from the menu. The 'Remote File Permissions' window will open and allow you to alter the file permissions. (Note: 'CHMOD' is listed under 'FTP Commands' in WS_FTP version 7+)
