How to CHMOD directories with FileZilla

1. Open FileZilla and connect to your website.
2. Once connected double click on public_html to view the contents of your web space.
3. With your mouse, right click on one of the files or directories in your web space and a popup menu will appear. On this menu choose "File Attributes", which is the last link in the popup menu.
   
   
   
   
4. A new popup will appear called "Change File Attributes".
   
   
   
   
5. To change the CHMOD value you should enter the three digit number required in the box called "Numeric Value". In figure 2 you will see that the Numeric Value is 755 which means that only your server space has access to the folder. For most directories the Numeric Value should always be 755 however on some files, such as a configuration file, the Numeric Value should be 666 which means that it cannot be changed or written to.
6. Once you have entered the desired Numeric Value click on "OK".
