If you would like to set your file permissions through your FTP program, you can do so like this:

a. Log into your server and locate the directory that contains your file.
b. Highlight the file that you would like to change permissions.
c. Place your mouse pointer over the file and right click to launch a menu.
d. Click on “chmod” (UNIX) to launch the “permissions” window.
e. Set your permissions and click on OK.

In addition to setting permissions with your FTP program, most web hosts will enable you to set permissions through your web page management system.
