Setting file permissions is a key factor in publishing files to Polaris/Nova.
If you do not set them correctly, any one could have access to your files,
possibly even edit your files and republish them.
Note: if
you like to read more about setting permissions, see Change
Directory/File Permissions.
| There
are three key elements in the setting of file permissions: |
r |
read
the file or directory |
w |
write
to the file or directory |
x |
execute
the file or directory |
|
|
Each
element is assigned a value:
- read
= 4
- write = 2
- execute = 1
The
chart to the right shows the permissions set to 755. It
grants the
owner the right to read, write and execute a file. It allows
all other users to read and execute a file, but does not allow
them
to
write (make changes
to the file).

the mini menu. |

To
set permissions using CoreFTP client:
1.
Select file/directory you want to change
on the remote site panel.
2.
Right click to open the pop-up window. Select from the mini-menu.
The
Remote file permissions dialog box will open.
 |
|
Select appropriate permissions.
You can type the value into the Value text box, however,
the permission code needs to be typed in reverse order. For
example. If
you want to set the file permissions to 755, in the Value text
box you would need to enter 557. Once you have added the
permission to the text box it should be listed as 755. |
