Hello there
blitz,
You'll be better off using PuTTY...
infact you might as well greab WinSCP whilst you're at it to save you some more time and use S-FTP...
A quick lesson in *NIX type Shell Commands.
(There are thousands of better "Short" introductions as they've more time on their hands to collate them)
Commands| ls -l | List Directory |
| cd | Change Directory |
| pwd | Print Working Directory |
| chmod <permissions> <file> | Set the Permissions for the File |
| whereis <file/direcotry> | Find a file/dir |
| grep <expression> | Regular Eaxpression Parser |
Finding HelpFor help with any function, your best bet is to type
command --help
If you want to set the Permissions of a file named
index.php to
(0)755 (Octal)
#> chmod 755 index.php
If you've got a set of PHP Files in just a directory, with NO subdirectories with PHP files within...
#> ls -l
drwxrwxrwx 2 user cgiusers 4096 xxx xx xx:xx cgi-bin
-rw------- 1 user cgiusers 0 xxx xx xx:xx index.php
-rw------- 1 user cgiusers 0 xxx xx xx:xx error.php
....
#> chmod 755 *.php
That will suffice.
If you've got a whole load of files, then use:
fixphpperms.sh -c / -r / -s
( / = OR )
Type
fixphpperms.sh ---help
For what each option does.
If you've put your PHP files in the "
cgi-bin" folder,
it's not advised to put them there.
It actually makes no difference for what I use the cgi-bin folder for,
I actually have a few PHP files in there as utilities for my Website.
Otherwise, I hope that has put you in the right direction!
Jim,
