Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. I was able to modify the permissions on a folder using this: chmod -R myfolder. Improve this answer.

So, this code If you use quotes eg chmod file, "" ; php will not complain but will do an implicit conversion to an int before running chmod. Unfortunately the implicit conversion doesn't take into account the octal string so you end up with an integer version , which is octal. In the previous post, stickybit avenger writes: Just a little hint. I was once adwised to set the 'sticky bit', i. The resutls are base numbers that only LOOK like they are octal numbers.

The function also ignores setuid, setgid and sticky bits, and will produce incorrect numbers if such a file is encountered. Instead, this brute-force code works. Maybe there is something more slick, but this isn't too CPU-intensive note that it assumes you've error-checked that you indeed have a character string! Not as efficient, but works. Windows has a very different file permission model to Unix and integrates them only minimally.

The executable flag cannot be set as Windows determines it based on file extension. The write flag cannot be set as Windows determines write access based on ACLs, which are not integrated here. I was trying to change permissions of a folder with chmod command with FTP connection. Conversely, the UNIX-running servers allow that. Here is the error msg from my server:. Did you mean selecting "read only" instead of is OK? I tried to change to checking all read only but the change did not stay with FTP program.

Can't you do it in the server CP. There must be a file manager. I would try there, not with FTP but direct. There's no point in retrying it.
