Changing permissions from File Manager

[dxer]

Is it possible and how, to change file permissions from cPanel's File Manager ?

My client told me that he tried but changes are not staying the way he changed

you can change the persmissions from the cpanel.
goto cpanel-> file manager -> click on any file name/folder name ->
you'll get a menu on the right frame. click on the change permissions ->
select which permissions you want


If your permission changing is not working.. this may be a solution :
connect to the server using SSH.
run the command
pico /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x2/files/changeperm.html

and locate
............
............
<cpanelFileman="changepe
.........
and put a space between "cpanel" and "Fileman"

save the file

it should solve the problem..
PS: this one is for X2 Skin

Hello,
Can someone please check this for me on their CPANELS.
I can not get this feature to work. I can not change file permissions.
It does not give error message, but it does not change permissions of any of the files!
Thanks.

For me, it worked this what vijaykiran told me to do.
