how to change chmod?

hi, im using phpnuke and while installing an "ad-on", one of the instructions says:

Change the chmod of imageads, imagecatg folders to 777

i don't know how to do it. can anybody help? pls.

thanks!

 

Log into FTP (using something like SmartFTP) and go to the folder, right click, and change CHMOD settings there to 777

 

thanks for the quick reply antman. im using FileZilla FTP built in xampp v1.6.2. i have logged in to the ftp, ... i have been clicking on all the icons on filezilla ftp interface but still cant find the folders...

 

Public_html/your folder name?

 

i can open it on my browser

http://localhost/mysite/html/folder

but when im in the ftp server interface, i dont see any folders

 

1. Is that truly localhost? That would be on your PC.
2. Do you you have the right permissions for the FTP in xampp?
3. Do you see any files in Filezilla? Could be wrong FTP mode

First thing to check should be the FTP log.

 

1. it is truly localhost, in my pc
2. yes, i have logged in as administrator
3. here's the screenshot

 

Sorry, can't help you with that - never had a windows server nor windows PC.

 

1-Directly go to the folder that you want to chmod. (directly mean browse to it through my computer c:/program files/WHERE EVER YOUR SERVER IS INSTALLED)
2- right click on the folder, remove mark from read-only column. it will make the folder writable

(chmod is only used on unix~linux server. chmod 777 mean writable directory)
