Write permissions

[traderxs]

Hello,

I need to know something about windows server...
I need to chmod a file to 666 (this is linux, right?)
chmodding is not available for windows servers?
How am i supposed to set writing permissions on a file?

thanks for feedback,

[Joe]

666 is read and write for the three groups for the file. (User, Group and World).

I'm not so sure about Windows hosting but you should be able to set them to read and write (not read-only).

are you talking programmatically changing the read/write or just changing them from within the system?

Window is tricky... pre-NT you had no access issues.. well, apart from being completely open...

with NTFS, though, you have security on directories and files based on user groups... you can just change the user settings manually by right-clicking and selecting "security".
Then you can allow the IUSR account (the anonymous access account for internet access) the rights to read/write...


the problem is when it is a remotely hosted file, and when you need to do this programmatically...
