With file permissions, you determine what rights visitors have when accessing files on your website. For example, you want to prevent the database configuration from being exposed while ensuring the contact page remains accessible. These file permissions can be adjusted per file or folder.
Start the FTP Connection
Launch your FTP program, such as FileZilla, and establish an FTP connection to the specific website.
Access File Permissions
Right-click on the file or folder you want to modify and select File Permissions.
Set and Save Permissions
Set the desired file permissions. This can be done by toggling the checkboxes on or off or by entering a numerical value. Click OK to apply the changes.
Changing file permissions on a website can pose a security risk. Always consult an expert if you're unsure.
