    Hello,
    i am not sure if PHP is the best category to post this so sorry in advance.
    I am following a tutorial for learning PHP in which the instructor develops a Photo Gallery project. In a
    video instructor set / change / modify the file permission in MAC OS X using command line and makes a note that windows users can use PowerShell to do the same but when i enter the command i receive error. This is what the instructor does:
    1. display a list of files in btb_sandbox
    2. chown a file.
    3. chmod a file.
    and use posix library which i cant find any where..
    so i'll be very very grateful if any of u tell me what the exact command on windows are, i how can do this on windows, I am using Windows 7
    I can provide link of tutorial video if needed

    Setting Permission

    [user@localhost]$ chown theuser thefilemask

    [user@localhost]$ ls -l

    rwx-w-r-- 4 php 4096
    Nov 7 15:52 mydirectory

    Modify the permissions in PHP

    [user@localhost]$ chmod 755 thefilemask

    Applying the permissions to the file in PHP

    [user@localhost]$ ls -l
    -rwx-w-r-- 4 php mygroup 4096 Nov 7 18:52 myfile

    Standard unix shell commands.....

    TO THE OP:

    Windows and unix file permissions are totally different; You almost always dont need to do this on a windows system but if you do it is a lot simpler; attrib will let you change read-only permissions, hidden etc (it can be done in explorer, but im not a windows person im afraid)

    WINDOWS:

    HOWEVER: You arent clear what you are doing. Is this a local setup or are you connecting to a remote server? If you are then you can easily change the file permissions through SSH (get putty for windows) using the same commands -OR- FTP (just right click the file, and choose permissions in most cases).

    If you are still stuck, please provide your exact setup and ill get you the answer.
