Overview
It is important to make sure that certain
files can be accessed only by certain people.
Therefore, proper file permissions should
be set so those who are permitted to use
a file can, and those who are not permitted
to use the file cannot. File permissions
can be set using the Change Permissions
function in the File Manager.
Steps (click here for
a flash demo of this task)
1 To access the FILE MANAGER, click on
the  icon
above the words File Manager on the main
screen of your cPanel interface.
2 Click on the icon next to the file you
wish to change the permissions of
3 Click on the words Change Permissions
on the right hand side of the screen
4 Click on a box to add or remove a check
from it
5 Make sure the permissions you wish to
give the file have checks in their boxes
6 Click on the button marked Change to
change the file’s permissions
NOTE: If the change was successful, the
following will appear (except filename
will be the name of the file, the numbers
will correspond with the permissions given
and /home/folder will be the name of the
directory you are currently in):
Set permissions on filename -> 0644
/home/folder/
Troubleshooting
If a file cannot be viewed, make sure
that it is world readable. Making any files
world writable as they could allow them
to be changed by unauthorized users.
