unix newbie question

[arnold]

hello,

i try to upload a php guestbook, now in the readme file they say "3 Enable Write Access to data.dat by everyone"

but with what kind of command do i do that

[TheEagle]

find the directory where data.dat is in ... then do


chmod a+w ./data.dat

or

chmod ugo+w ./data.dat


Of course that only works if you have access to the console of the webserver. Some FTP clients also are able to set permissions, if the server allows it.

i use putty to do that, so i have acces to that directory

[TheEagle]

Ok then do it. Did it work? :)
