Accessing FTP to edit site files?

Hi
I am trying to upload a editted file for my site ministryofgadgets.com
I am using Core FTP lite, and the site is SSH.
I can log in and view the files but when i want to delete or overwrite a file i get this error.
DELE mo_header.php
permission denied...

Can anyone advice how i would edit the files?
Thanks

 

Hello,

Do you have permissions on every file? Like 774 or 777 to edit or delete files?

Here you have a tutorial how to do it

I have gone into the properties of the file and changed the permissions, however when i click ok and open the properties again they are back to normal?

 

Nope, They are not back to normal.

Hi,

If you can't change the permissions means that the FTP user don't own the file, , must login as root and use chown command.
