    Default ftp file permissions

    When I try to change the permissions of a file to 444 using ftp on my system it won't change. I have tried ws_ftp, core, and filezilla. SSH can do the chmod just fine but ftp won't change them.

    Any ideas?

    cPanel/Enkompass Access Level

    Root Administrator

    Default

    Maybe it's not as much a permissions issue (even with global write) as it is an ownership issue. If you have SSH (preferably root) access to the server, check what user owns those files.

    On systems not running SuPHP/SuExec, files generated by scripts would be owned by user nobody rather than you.

    If you do not have root access to the server, you should contact your hosting provider regarding this issue. If you don't know what root access is, it is likely you do not have root access.
