How do I change the permission of my CGI scripts?
Changing the permission of your scripts can easily be done using your FTP program. To do that, connect to your Server using your favorite FTP program. Highlight the file that you wish to change permission. Right Click on the highlighted file then choose FTP Commands -> Site. Enter SITE string like this: chmod 755 name_of_file.

You can also use the UNIX command of changing file permission. To do that, highlight the file that you wish to change permission. Right Click then choose chmod (UNIX).

The following are the eqiuvalent UNIX command of changing file permission:

(755) -rwxr--r--
(644) -rw-r--r--
(666) -rw-rw-rw-
(777) drwxrwxrwx
