Within dreamweaver how do i set the file permissions of a FormMail.pl script to 755 in order for it to work on a Unix web server?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Master G

Go to the MM Dreamweaver Exchange and search for "Set Permissions for
Dreamweaver MX 2004, V2.0.0" Extension.

Install it using the Extension Manager.
Go to Remote View
Right Click your files and make the changes

Greetings

Willi

Ha ha excellent...anyone'd think I set this one up! Answer...you can't... you have to use a real FTP application (see my ill-mannered rant below under thread "FTP Transfer")

Willi,

Searched for "Set Permissions for Dreamweaver MX 2004, V2.0.0" on the
exchange site but didn't find anything.

any other ideas

Ta,

Gavin

search on just:

set permissions

in the dreamweaver exchange

Searched for "Set Permissions for Dreamweaver MX 2004, V2.0.0" on the
exchange site but didn't find anything.

I went to the axchange site, amd downloaded this file. It was very promising
when it gave me the option on my righ-click, but now it says "this is only
available with FTP sites". I'm using an FTP site! - - - - Stumped.

Do I really need to download another program just to change the permissions?
If so, what is this program called?

Thanks

chmod

You need to telnet in...
To change the permissions of the script, you will need to telnet to your web
space (using the same details as with FTP). Once you are connected, this will
provide you with a $ sign where you type the UNIX commands as detailed in the
Using UNIX section.

To set the permissions for your script so that it can be run by users browsing
your pages, you need to follow these steps:

* Change to the cgi-bin directory using cd, cd cgi-bin
* Use the chmod command on the script, changing the permission to 705,
chmod 705 my-script.pl
* Type

ls -l

to check to see if you have been successful.

Here's an example

$
$ cd cgi-bin
$ ls -l
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 3149 102 11 Dec 22 11:25 my-script.pl
$ chmod 705 my-script.pl
$ ls -l
total 2
-rwx---r-x 1 3149 102 11 Dec 22 11:25 my-script.pl
$

[where -rwx---r-x represents the permission settings for your file. You are
interested in the last 3 characters. For your script to run from your web pages
you need to make sure the 'x' or execute bit is set]

Actually, you probably need to SSH[1] in; many hosts no longer provide
telnet access. Also, a lot of FTP clients provide this functionality, some
better than others. ISTR that there's a DW extension which adds this
capability to Dreamweaver.
