Occasionally you may need to set permissions on directories and/or files in order for your site to work properly such as for scripts.

Via File Manager

• Login to your website control panel
• Click on File Manager
• Find the files/folders you need to change permissions on
• Check the checkbox next to those files and/or folders
• Click the CHMOD button
• Check the checkboxes next to the permissions you need, if applicable also check the box next to apply to sub-directories and/or files within the directory
• Click on the green checkmark icon to apply the change

Via FTP Client

• Login to your FTP account
• Navigate to the files/folders you need to change permissions on
• Right-click and choose CHMOD or File Attributes (depends on your client) on the files/directories
• Click OK or Apply Permissions

Please refer to your specific FTP client’s documentation to find out exactly how to perform permissions changes via that client, the above is just a generalized how-to and may not be the same for every client.
