Easy permission adjusting

At Hotscripts.com Webadmin can be found, a great tool for everybody who sometimes needs to change CHMOD on a server and doesn’t have SSH access or just doesn’t want to use Terminal etc. It’s a simple PHP file which gets dropped into whatever directory and then called. Not sure how secure it is for people who should NOT tamper around, i.e. if they could change something to 777 if it should remain 644 or whatever - but for me it’s really useful :smile:.

  1. Okay, some more daa on this: there is a difference on who can change CHMOD, depending who is assigned to be the owner. Singapore for example is very picky about that. I can not upload to a folder if the owner is myself, it has to be www. And the owner is only changable through the Finder - i.e. I haven’t searched for the correct command via Terminal. Lucky enough I can go in via Timbuktu and change that, but it’s still a pain in the buttock that some folders get created as www and some as myself - I create folders via my FTP client and through the interface of singapore itself. I have an inkling that creating folders through FTP is causing folders to be owned by myself.
