CHMOD is a command that stands for 'CHange MODe' and is used on *nix computers (Linux, Unix, etc) to set the permissions of files and folders. These permissions include read, write and execute. We need to change the permissions on 5 folders and 1 file:
If you're using SmartFTP, CuteFTP or Filezilla, right-click on the first folder. A menu should appear that says either 'File Attributes' (in FileZilla) or Properties/CHMOD (in SmartFTP and CuteFTP). Choose the applicable menu option for your FTP program. A new window will open that identifies the current permissions of the file. Replace the three-digit number in the permissions field with 777. Repeat these steps for all 5 folders and 1 file (the classifieds.php file in the connections folder) that are listed above.
If you are using Windows Explorer, setting the permissions will be a little different. In the server pane of Windows Explorer, right-click the folder or file and choose 'Properties' in the menu. A new window will open that has three rows and three columns of check boxes that you will use to set the permissions. Place a check in each of the nine boxes and press the 'OK' button. Repeat these steps for all 5 folders and 1 file (the classifieds.php file in the connections folder) that are listed above.
