i have a unix-based shared hosting plan. How do I change permissions for files or directories using the file manager?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

On our UNIX-based hosting plans (Business Class Unix, Pro Unix, and eCommerce Unix), you can use the File Manager tool to change the permissions for files and directories.

Note: Changing the permissions for certain files or directories in your web space may cause your site to function improperly or not be available via the Internet.

Here’s how:

Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
Now, select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
Next, click the File Manager-New icon.
Use the left directory panel to browse to the file/directory you'd like to change permissions for.
Right-click a file or directory in order to use the management menu. Select Permissions.

Set the required permissions by checking the respective boxes. Click OK when ready.
