This week and almost every week I get asked how do I change permissions on files. Certain scripts do require that files and folders be writable (chmod 777). Just a word of caution if you make your files and folders writable it can leave your site open to malicious use. If your script needs to update a config file I suggest setting the file back to unwritable when you are done.

Here is the video of how to update file permissions using File Manager in our cPanel. This one comes from our own knowledgebase.

Do you have a question would make a good video? If so post a comment.
