I recently changed hosting company and have been told that to chmod files i need shell access.
they gave me some logging in details and told me to chmod through my shell.......
right, lovely, i have shell access...
umm whats a shell? whast do i do with it? how do i access it and more importantly how do i chmod with it?
A search on the net led me to a program called putty.... looks very much like dos. though the support files with it are very basic - i just about managed to log in - is this a good program to use? is there anything easier? like point and click program?
any help here would be good -
many thanks

I like secureCRT but putty is for free and does a pretty good job.
You might compare a shell to dos. It takes your commandlines and process' them. A chmod (usually) can be done with your ftp-client, too. Check the manual or online-help for that feature.
But if you have to do it from the commandline, take a look at man chmod, it should display the manual of chmod.
e.g. chmod 755 thescript.php

Very useful site for linux reference. Has a listing of all commands and good documentation. Behold, the wonder that is O'Reilly.
I use Putty for shell access. It permits you to use an SSH connection, is free, and runs quite well.
