  1. Hey Mate,

    Using ssh is easy. Simply cd to the appropriate directory. Then at the command prompt type: chmod 666 filename. That's it. You can see from others posts how you might change permissions other than 666. It works the same if you want 755 or 777 or whatever.

     

    best wishes

    Notice, that most of us don't have shell/SSH access:

     

    user@svr ~$ ssh cryptw@cw.astahost.comThe authenticity of host 'cw.astahost.com (69.50.168.69)' can't be established.RSA key fingerprint is 28:79:b0:99:d5:3c:cb:9e:9d:6f:42:f7:2e:80:52:dd.Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yesWarning: Permanently added 'cw.astahost.com' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.cryptw@cw.astahost.com's password:Shell access is not enabled on your account!If you need shell access please contact support.Connection to cw.astahost.com closed.


  2. Yes...

    so your script would be somthing like

     

    #!/bin/bash#uncomment one of the following.#to delete a set directoryrm /path/to/temp/directory/* -R#to delete a tempory directory given in parameter 1#rm $1 -R

    i know you are a windows user, and thats a nix script, but this server is running on a nix system.

    for a windows system, replace "#!/bin/bash" with "@echo off"  and "rm" with "del"

    Slight improvision on the script to skip prompting in case it's enabled, since cronjobs can't interact:

    #!/bin/bashrm -fR /path/to/temp/directory/*


  3. Actually, there's a simple map to give you the numeric.
    Start with n = 000 and add all that apply from this chart:

           Owner Group WorldRead      400    40     4Write     200    20     2Execute   100    10     1
    For example, if you want everone to Read and Execute but only the owner to write:
    400+40+4+200+100+10+1=755
    So 755 is your numeric.
    Seems quite easy now, doen't it.

  4. Let pbolduc put forth his/her theory and let all of us make our best endeavours to find fault with his theory, thereby condemning pbolduc to hell, provided that there is no fault found with the theory of hell!With regards to the Big Bang Theory, which at this point no fault has been found on:/me hauls "Basic Psyshics Refernce Manual Volume 1: A-C" off bookshelf and dusts off the cover.... Based on the theory e=mc² discovered in {xxxx} by Albert Einstein, showing a distinct link between energy and matter, come a theory of the creation of the universe.The Big Bang Theory discovered in {xxxx} by {Some Guy} states that there was a "big bang", converting the infinite energy present in the {universe} at that time, slowly into matter and this process is still happening today ...I will show you's more quotes from the imaginary "Basic Psyshics Refernce Manual" series that is present only as a {xxx} representation in my brain.


  5. Please tell me your distribution of GNU/Linux so I can give you more specific instructions.
    Make sure the installed kernel supports your network card, firstly.
    If it was from a major distribution like FC/RedHat/Debian/etc. it should support it.
    If it doesn't the best way would be to compile your own kernel, but i won't go into that here.

    If you use DHCP:
    Enter the command prompt and type:

    dhcpcd
    or if that doesn't work
    dhcpd

    If you don't:
    ifconfig netmask eth0 <ip address>
    Remember to replace <ip address>!

    Post the result of those commands here, so I can tell you how it went.

    Hope that helps.

  6. Generally it is not a good idea to play with hardware while the machine is on. I know I was having trouble with a hard drive freezing Win98 whenever it booted, so I decided to plug the hard drive in after booting was complete and I completely fried the drive (smoke, the whole bit  :D ) I'm glad it was a POS drive, and I've learned from my mistakes... Just like they say to avoid static... DO IT  ^_^

    What's a POS drive?

    Also, those special motherboards include something called a hotplug controller.

    They automatically detect new hardware, are very expensive and are present only mainly in servers.

    Once I plugged and extra IDE hard drive to my home computer (which is obviously non-hotplug) and I attempted to mount it and to my suprise, everything worked. I could browse and read and write from the drive.

    And, yes, there are always restart-to-take-affect updates, commonly know as kernel updates.

    The kernel is Linux (the core of the Operating system). Most of the rest of a basic system is GNU. So, it is also only fair to call "Linux" GNU/Linux.


  7. phpBB is fine if you just want something really basic, but if you want something serious, get Invision Power Board.Unfortunately, they've gone completely paid except for an encoded trial and Fantastico.DON'T download the trial.I have some old fully functional trial versions of 2.0.0 PF 4 and 1.3.3 Final.If you want them, post here with your email address.PS. That's not illegal, because you can't give the public the right to use software, then take it away a few months later.Also NO to yaBB. It uses way too much resources and doesn't even use mySQL. It uses flat file.
