Can't open file in theme folder

  • Hey all,

    I have a small internal site that basically does some analysis of an XML file and creates a second XML file. I need this file to be saved in a folder called ‘reports’ in the websites theme folder, which I can do, but then when I present the user with a like to the newly created file the link does nothing.

    I have a feeling that it’s a permissions thing, but I’m lost as to where to look – I use CoreFTP and clicking properties in any directory does not show me the permissions as I’m lead to believe it should.

    Any help here would be greatly appciated.

    Thanks.

  • Try setting the permissions of the folder ‘reports’ to 777

    Here’s a short tutorial on how to do it with core ftp: https://blog.speedhost.in/how-to-change-file-permissions-using-core-ftp/

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for the replies, but unfortunatly when using CoreFTP I am not shown the permissions in the way described. I’m certainly no expert (else I’d have this probably simple problem sorted already!) but I suspect it is because I am developing on a local machine, so it’s not set up as an FTP server. No XP disc either, as the computers at work come in pre-imaged, so I can’t even install the service!

    I do have the security on the folder set to allow users to read and execute files through the normal Windows security options, though not sure if that makes a difference.

    Thanks.

    Is the xml file actually being generated and saved?

    Yes, and it works absolutly fine when I manually navigate there and open it.

    Thanks.

    Not live, it’s a a test server and will only be for Intranet when finished anyway. Sorry!
