Shell access
Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2003 4:34 am
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
