hey,

i have a client who needs files permissions changed to 666 ... the odd thing is that some files can be changed to 666 while others refuse the change ... these are dat files ... i am using filezilla to effect the changes

any idea why and how can i change the file permissions of those stubborn files to 666?

thanks

serge

The user account you are logging in with probably doesn't have the right permissions to change the permissions on those files.

Contact the person/company who looks after the server to see if they can help.

thanks for that ... i was able to resolve the issue ... i had to transfer the files to my computer via ftp, delete them from the server, re-upload them ... i was then able to change the permissions

bizarre!

the permissions must have been messed up on them to begin with. At least you got it working :)
