changing file permissions

[RFH Reseller: Space Cowboy]

Hi, does anyone know how I can change permissions of my files?

In FTP it says the server does not allow changing file permissions and I can see this option anywhere in HELM.

You shouldn't need to alter file permissions in the way you would on a unix server. The ftp file permission commands will not work.

see warning at the top of the page. its because I need to change the file permission to READ ONLY. what should I do?

You just want to surpress the warning message. How to do that depends upon the app you are running. Is there an option in the site admin that lets you turn off these warnings? If not you may need to manually do it, and that depends on how the app has been written.

There won't actually be a security issue, so in that respect it is nothing to worry about.

thanks Nick, I have other errors with this shopping cart which im awaiting feedback from where I brought it so I cant get into the admin section yet. But I will be able to get rid of this manually in the code if not.

cheers

I had the same issue. Open up the includes/application_top.php file and find the following line:

define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'true');

You need to change it to false so if should look like this:

define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'false');

The error should now disappear.

I believe if u upload a file that is read only then it will be read only when you have uploaded it.
