Managing your files and folders in your domain is part of your money making by blogging jobs. This include:

1. Updating your blogging script (ie WordPress);
2. Deleting, renaming and changing files and folders;
3. Uploading and Downloading Files
4. Updating, importing and exporting database
5. and other similar works…

So, don’t be surprised if a blog of a money maker by blogging is talking about website management.

I receive recently an email from a blogger like me who have problems of doing the CHMOD function for his folders and files in his Domain.

Bro, I recently moved my blog from my old webhost to the new webhost. I experienced no problem in moving. Downtimes is normal since the DNS of my domain resolves in the entire internet for a quite long time.

What really gives me a problem is on changing the CHMOD of all files and folders inside a certain folder.

Did you know a PHP script that could handle the job? Please tell me?

CHMOD’ing folders and files

FYI, I’m not really a programmer. I may understand some commands, functions or code written in PHP but I don’t know how to write them. And another thing is, I don’t have yet any PHP script that handles the CHMOD’ing of files and folders in a domain.

However, I know a very simple and easy way in changing the File Permissions of a long list of files and folders. The CHMOD’ing takes time but you will never get tired because the application or the program is the one doing the job.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Download the SmartFTP (click here). It’s up to you to decide if you want to download the “Paid” or the “Free” one.
2. Install the SmartFTP application in you PC.
3. Log in to your FTP account using the SmartFTP. In the “Address” field enter the domain of your website. The “Username” and “password” are your username and password if you’ll log in to your CPanel. You can also use the username and password you created for a specific FTP account. Visit the “FTP Manager” in your CPanel for more info.
4. Then find the folder that you want to CHMOD. Right click on it and click the “Properties” and configure the CHMOD settings then click “OK”.
5. If there are thousands of files inside that folder, then expect that the SmartFTP client application would take time in processing the job. While waiting, you can browse the pages of my blog, “I Make Money Online by Blogging” and send me your suggestions, comments or any messages.

Hope this tips help you.

P.S. I think, the best thing to do is to ask the assistance of the Technical Support of your webhost. I know they can easily change the Permission Settings of thousands of files in your domain in just one command in the root directory.
