Hellow,

i want to backup whole my site via ftp.
This works fine, exept some files. If he tries to download such a file, i get following error:
permission denied
As this whole account will be deleted in a few days, it is a urgent problem.
The most files are of no importance, but some are not, so skipping those files is no option.
(also i finally wanna know the solution, could be usefull in future)

with friendly greetings,
behets tom

hey,

nope dont have permission to chmod remotely.
I checked the filemanager in plesk, there normally, i can change the chmod by clicking on the current chmod listed at the end of the files-table.
But with my problem-files, the current chmod isn't a link, so i can't take any action inhere also.

hockey: thanx for your reaction & cool picture :wink:

Sounds like the files were created with apache/php under a different userid. If they were, you'll need to use apache/php to chmod them, or even chown() them.

Can you rename them? Sometimes a quick rename allows me to take ownership of a file through the FTP client (FireFTP for Firefox or Filezilla).
