  • Hi,

    If you do have an shell access then you can do it with chmod command otherwise you have to contact your service provider to change the permissions which you desire..but make sure it set properly..and 777 may cause the problem of hack with your blog…

    Thanks,

    bs. nearly every decent ftp client has the built-in ability to change permissions (chmod)

    awjm,

    you do not to have any files or directories with wide open permissions.

    files == 644
    directories == 755

    ^^ those are the safe and sane permissions.
