File and | File and directory permissions control who can see your files and use your directories. They can control whether you will be able to install [[Modifications|mods]] to your forum. On Linux and other Unix-like servers the [[chmod|chmod command]] is used to designate permissions. On most servers, a setting of 755 for directories and 644 for files will work. If this does not work on your hosting service, you may need 777 or 775 for directories, and 666 or 664 for files. Some hosts do not allow using 777 for directories or 666 for files -- using such high values will cause Internal Server Errors, 500 erors, or other errors. If the permission on your files or directories does not make them writable, the SMF {{#switch: {{lc:{{{1|install}}}}}|install=install|upgrade=upgrad}}er will report the problem -- if it can detect it. | ||

Using a control panel or [[FTP_-_How_do_I_use_FTP|FTP client]], file permissions can be changed quickly and easily. Usually, FTP programs will allow permissions to be changed by right-clicking files/directories and selecting "Properties", "Attributes" or "Permissions". The desired numerical value can be entered, or if provided, check boxes can be changed. | Using a control panel or [[FTP_-_How_do_I_use_FTP|FTP client]], file permissions can be changed quickly and easily.
