CHMOD is short for Change mode, it allows you to grant different access rights to certain files, but how do you do it? And what do all those numbers mean?

Step 1: Right click on the file(s) or directories you wish to chmod, in the pop-up menu chose CHMOD.
Step 2: Select the access rights of the files.

Here is the list of possibilities
0 = --- = no access
1 = --x = execute
2 = -w- = write
3 = -wx = write and execute
4 = r-- = read
5 = r-x = read and execute
6 = rw- = read and write
7 = rwx = read write execute (full access)


So for example, if you had to CHMOD something to 755
you whould check read, write, and execute for owner, read and execute for Group, read and execute for Other in your FTP


So for example, if you had to CHMOD something to 666
you would click read and write for Owner, Group, and Other


So for example, if you had to CHMOD something to 162
you whould check execute for Owner, read and write for Group, and write for Other in your FTP
