Permission and security

Post by ljCharlie »

I understand that if I setup the ftp server for my webserver then I should be able to use the chmod 666 and so on but what if I don't have ftp server setup. How do I change the permission when some instruction asked to change the permission to something like chmod 444? How do I do that in Windows?

If you have access to the machines control panel, go to START -> CONTROL PANEL -> ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS -> INTERNET INFORMATION SERVICES.

Once there, find the folder that you want to change permissions on, right click it and choose properties. Look in the DIRECTORY and DIRECTORY SECURITY tabs to do what you want to do.
