Title: Chmod
Post by: NiceM on November 16, 2008, 12:12:14 PM: If i do a chmod to chmod 777 /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/includes/arcade/games/ the folder games is chmod to 777 but all subfolders are not.
Is there a way to chmod the folder with all subfolders at ones?

If i do a chmod to chmod 777

It's not advisable to set permissions of 777 as it's a security risk, search google for more information. The question would be why do you think you need to set permissions to 777, please tell us more about what your trying to achieve.

If you need help on basic linux commands you can get them easily by using the man command. For instance
Code: [Select]
man chmod would have shown you (that with many other commands) you could have added the -R or --recursive option.

Furthermore I agree with byte, perhaps if you tell us what you desire is and where the system is preventing you we can help you sort things out in a better way.

Are you sure 755 is not enough?

Post by: NiceM on December 16, 2008, 11:34:53 AM: I'm still having a little trouble with chmod, the folders for the games are chmod to 755 with me as owner, but when i let my homepage make a new folder i'm not the owner of that folder and can't upload anything to it.
I have used chown -R admin /home/e-smith/files/ibays/igames/html/forum/arcade/games/ and that's okay for the folders already there, but every time i let my arcade make a new folder it's owned by www.
Is it posible to change that?

How are you accessing those files? What method do you use?
What are the ibay settings:
Code: [Select]
db accounts show igames
Title: Re: Chmod
Post by: NiceM on December 16, 2008, 04:53:01 PM: This is what it come out with
Code: [Select]
igames=ibay CgiBin=enabled Gid=5003 Group=admin Name=For the arcade PasswordSet=no PublicAccess=global Uid=5003 UserAccess=wr-group-rd-group
Title: Re: Chmod
Post by: NiceM on December 16, 2008, 04:57:17 PM: I forgot to tell, i'm accessing the files trough home network.

Then you should assign a group with the users who are allowed to access the ibay for write access and not only admin as you are doing now.
