Changing file permissions

 

Every file and folder on your Web server has a set of assigned attributions, called permissions, that tells the Web server three things about the folder or file. On a very simplistic level, these permissions include:

✦ Read: This setting determines whether the file/folder is readable by the
Web server.

✦ Write: This setting determines whether the file/folder is writable by the
Web server.

✦ Execute: This setting determines whether the file/folder is executable by
the Web server.
