In an FTP Program like FileZilla, log into your FTP, browse to folders or files you want to chmod and right-click on them and select File Attributes and just check all Read and Write and No Execute or type 666 inside the box.

In shell you can change access permission simply with chmod command. You can use the numerical form (ie. chmod 666) or letters (easier to remember).With letters it goes like this:For example if you want to give others (in web server meaning anyone who tries to access the file thru web) write permission you could type: chmod o+w <filename>If you wanted to take the write permissions away you'd use - (minus) instead of plus. chmod o-w <file>For read the letter is r and for execution x. Notice that execution also means access to directory (if the file is a directory)For yourself the symbol to use is u (as in user) and for group g (group means users belonging to same usergroup as the owner. In web server doesn't really matter). Latter a means all (ie. user, group and other)You can also combine different change rules to one command. For example setting read, write and execute right for yourself: chmod u+rwx <file>

lol with ftp its EZ!!! just select all the files u wanna change permissions 2 and then just right click em and hit properties n just poof changes ez the easest ftp program that works good for me that would allow u 2 do that would be ctuftp...well thats in my opinion

OK if you want to do this without using a complicated FTP connection, all you have to do is go to http://www.youraddress.com/cpanel and log in with your cpanel username and password. After you have done this go into file manager and select the function 'change chmod' and that will let you do this much quicker and easier. I dislike fiddling around with it in FTP as well.

Setting permissions in cpanel is easiest for sure. Click on the file and then in the upper right click on set permissions. Convenient and quick.

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.

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.
