You are probably thinking of chmod. If you're using UNIX, open a command window and type 'chmod 755 filename.php'. 755 will allow the file to be read and executed by everyone, but only written by you. 777 will allow the file to be read, written, and executed by everyone. Windows users can specify 'read-only' to files, but that is all.

It's 'CHMOD' not 'CHMODE'.

Use a standard FTP program, one either built into your web design tool or an FTP client such as WSFTP, Voyager, etc.

Connect to server, browse to the directory your file is in and highlight the file or directory you want to CHMOD. Depending on the FTP program you are using, you can right-click, look for a button, look for a window or anything else that is labled 'CHMOD'.

From there you can set your permissions to whatever you would like. You probably want to CHMOD your file and the directory it is in to '755'. You can do '777' which will fix your problem, but may pose some security risks.

If you can't CHMOD by number, some clients have check boxes. Clicking on all nine of the check boxes will modify your permissions to '777'.

Ellery is correct if your talking about a local file. Sorry, I may have jumped the gun and over explained a bit.

or you could could install and run cygwin under windows. then you can chmod + most other unix/linux commands directly
