Setting Permissions on comp.uark.edu

When a web page is uploaded (published) to your comp.uark.edu account, the read permission will be set on your file automatically.  If, for some reason, you are needing to adjust permissions for a web page, you can log into your account using SSH Secure Shell for Windows or Macintosh SSH, and set permissions by typing the following:

  1. cd public_html
    This will put you into the /public_html/ directory where your web page files must be (They can also be in a subdirectory of /public_html/; if this is the case, you will need to use the cd (change directory) command to move there).
  2. chmod a+rx *.*
    This command sets permissions (changes mode) for read and execute (rx) to all files in the directory (*.*).

After typing these two commands, you can log out of SSH by typing:
exit
