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

Read the sticky "oscommerce information" topic above.

yes, sorry. I read it after the thread was moved (i didn't see the osCommerce thread initially). I got it working after creating the protect script.

Thanks
