 I know this is an easy thing to do for most users. But I realized, there are still more users who has no knowledge on how to change file/folder permissions. So here's Joomla Tip #3 to aid new users on how to change file/folder permission to globally writable. I will give you 3 ways to do this.
First things first:
CHMOD 777 = writable by everyone (this is mostly what you need to do)
CHMOD 755 = writable by owner only
There's more about CHMOD but i'm not gonna cover them.
Search CHMOD from Google to learn more about it.
1. USING YOUR FAVORITE FTP CLIENT SUCH AS FILEZILLA.
a. Using your FTP account, login to FileZilla.
b. Right click on the file or folder and click "File Attributes"
c. On "Change File Attributes" window, check all options or type "777", then click "Ok".
2. USING THE CPANEL FILE MANAGER
a. Click "File Manager".
b. Click on the file or folder that you want to change permission.
c. Click "Change Permission" link from the upper right corner.
d. Check all options or type "777", then click "Change".
3. USING MAMBOXPLORER COMPONENT.
a. MamboXplorer is Mambo/Joomla component that enables you to upload, edit, delete, change permission of your web files. This is handy specially if you often get your files locked. This component can delete locked files.
b. Navigate through MamboXplorer and click on the file or folder that you want to change permission.
