2. How do I CHMOD a File or Folder?
Files and folders that exist on
a server have a \\"permissions\\" attribute that determines
whether they can be read and modified. By default,
when files and folders are uploaded, they are read-only
and cannot be written to by an outside script or program.
Some web programs require files and folders be made
writable through CHMOD. For instance, the WordPress
program requires that the /wp-content folder be changed
to writable so that files can be uploaded through
the web interface. WordPress also requires the template
sheets to be made writable to be editable through
the web interface. CHMOD can be performed through
your FTP client according to the following steps.
Step 1: Open your FTP client and find go to
the folder or file you want to modify
You must be connected to your FTP client in order
to perform this step. If you do not know how to install
and use FTP, please read the corresponding tutorial:

After connecting to your FTP account, click your way
to the file or folder that you need to modify. When
you can see the file or folder in the server window,
right click on the file or folder and click on "File
Attributes"
Step 2: Perform the CHMOD
In the corresponding popup window, there will be some
3 number value such as "644." To make the file writable,
just change that number to "777" and click OK. That
is it, you are done!
