I've attempted 3 different FTP Clients now, and i know 'how' to change file permissions, but one of the changes doesn't seem to stick.
I've installed OsCommerce on my site, and it requires a file to be CHMOD'ed to 644 "(or if that doesn't work, try 777)."
I can CHMOD a file, and get it to change permissions, but I am getting an error on my page stating that a config file is writeable, and is requesting me to change permissions.
I try 644, still get the error from a security validating script(built in). I even try 777, and get the error (but i knew i would get an error, 777 would grant full access/permissions.
So, my question is this: i'm trying to chmod the file to a 444, or a complete READ ONLY permission, but every time i change the permission it automatically resets to a 644 when i refresh my directory listing in WS FTP. Is a READ/READ/READ permission not allowed on these servers? I'm just trying to temporarily get rid of the permission vulnerability statement as of now.
Thanks,
Marty
