Chris Wilson Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Bit (lot) out of my depth here. I upload a set of photos to a new folder on my remote http server. http://www.chriswilson.tv/monument Yet when a user, or myself copies the above link into a browser it comes back with you have no permission to access. If I link to a specific photo or photos it seems to work ok. What do I have to set to enable people to see a list of files in said folder? Ta! http://www.chriswilson.tv/monument/DSC07522.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I don't know much about it either, but I think you need to give users read permission on the folder itself. On a linux command line it might look something like: chmod 644 monument (i.e. read-write for root, read for the group, read for everyone else) Does that help?

Chris Wilson Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 I am using WS_FTP Pro, an oldish version. I can see how to change permissions on files within folders, but not folders themselves. Can an actual folder be given various permissions then? Thanks.

Soop Dogg Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 You can specify permissions on a folder. It might have a check in the box to 'Allow inheritable permissions' at the moment. If the parent folder to the folder in question doesn't allow access, then this one will inherit that attribute. Try unticking that box for the properties of this folder and then adding 'Everyone' to the list of users and grant them 'Read' access. Might work....

andygood Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Setting file/folder permissions directly probably won't make a difference. There'll be a setting on the web server to allow/prohibit folder browsing, either on all folders, or each folder individually. Who is your site hosted with? It seems that every hosting service has a different 'control panel' for managing their sites, so you're going to have to work out how to do it with your particular one... You could just raise a support ticket and ask them to do it for you?! Hope this helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
