[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1363437, member: 145676"] It is a terminal command [code] chmod 777 <name of file or folder> [/code] If you make it 777 on a file it means world read/write/execute. If you make a folder 777 it also means world read/write but the last bit although still execute means world can go into the folder. Note the chmod command and 777 can be a very dangerous thing - giving access and execution rights to everyone usually isn't recommended. You usually want 755 for directories and 644 for files which is owner r/w everyone else read-only - and files non-executable. For reference here is how numbering of chmod works which is based on Octal representation of the 3 permissions fields. user, group, everyone [url=http://catcode.com/teachmod/numeric.html]chmod by the Numbers[/url] (There 000 000 010 types of people - those who understand Octal and those who don't) [/QUOTE]
