Can I chmod a directory or files on my site?
Please note that you cannot set permissions yourself so the answer is no, you cannot use CHMOD. You will need to request specific permissions to be set by us at the HelpDesk. When doing so, please request permissions in Windows terminology such as “need read/write permission set for everyone.” Chmod is not done on Windows server since it is a Unix permissions function. On Windows web servers, you simply put your scripts in the cgi-bin directory which already has the necessary permissions. You really don’t have to put them there though because Perl scripts can be interpreted in any directory on a Windows server. If youre having trouble, please create a support ticket at our HelpDesk with the name of the script, URL on your site and brief explanation as to what the script does.
