Re: setting file permissions on a web server

In short, chmod refers to local files so wherever you run it it will
refer to files on that machine. You run it simply by typing it in a
shell as a user who has privilage to perform the operatation, which
can mean you have to be an owner of the file but if you are root you
can do it in any case. Depending on your ftp, scp, http or whatever
method you use to transfer files the file permissions may or may not
change during the transfer. If permissions are kept intact you can
chmod on your local machine and then transfer, if they are not then
you transfer first and chmod on the server. When you transfer files
from a windows machine to *nix it again depends on the particular
method you choose how the permissions will be set.

Thanks, but I'm still a little confused. Since I'm running Windows, I assume that I can't run the chmod line on my own computer. My web server uses Unix, but is it possible for me to have access to a command line for the server? I didn't know that was possible for basic web hosting plans (I'm using 1and1 right now).

I suppose I could write a script that would set the permissions of all the files in a particular folder on my computer to 755, but is there a Windows equivalent command for chmod to do this? Or am I stuck having to do it on the server side?
