How do I set chmod file and directory permissions with FileZilla?
First, you need to understand that chmod is a Unix and Linux command to set file permissions. It won’t work if your web site is on a Microsoft server. Permission are set to control access to files and directories. Be careful how you set permissions because incorrect permissions can open up security issues with your web site. If you need to set permissions for a file or directory, you probably are following instructions that tell you which permissions need to be set. Don’t get creative and make it too easy for someone to break into your site.
