chmod 777 in unmanaged Windows Server 2008 R2

[wally]

Hello,

I'm trying to install XLRstats Webfront and it requires 2 folders to have permissions set to 777.

Code: Select all

# chmod 777 path/to/xlrstats/dynamic
# chmod 777 path/to/xlrstats/config

I use Cyberduck FTP, and I edit the permissions to 777 but it reverts back to 000.

Using Windows Explorer via Remote Desktop and if I right-click > properties, I am able to un-check 'Read-only', but when I right-click on it again, it's checkmarked again..

Help is greatly appreciated.

Found my answer:

Right-click folder > properties > security tab > click Edit button > select Users > checkmark Full-Control

success.

chmod 777 is a wince-worthy requirement that they should not need =\. You should never have to make your files readable and writeable by all other users on the machine.
