Using Yahoo’s Web Hosting Control panel, I find absolutely nothing that points me to “Change File Permissions.”
For example, help instruction mentions this code,
“chmod (“/directory/file.php”, 0644);”
But they fail to say what to do with it, HOW to get it to the proper place, and exactly WHERE that place is.
All I need to do is change one “file permission.” It’s a PHP filed called config.php.
I’ve read Yahoo’s instructions over and again, and still find them very vague. They tell you WHAT to do, but not HOW or WHERE to find the items to which they refer.
For example, they simply say, “use the php function chmod to change file permissions.”
Attempting to follow that instruction, nothing on Yahoo web hosting control panel points to “permissions” button or icon.
Found the answer – You use your ftp client, right click the file you wish to change and within it’s attributes/properties you can change the file permission

You cannot change file permissions using Yahoo! Control Panel; you can only change permissions for whole directories by restricting it to users with certain names and passwords or removing those restrictions.
As to the code you specified:
chmod (“/directory/file.php”, 0644)
you should put in inside a PHP script. Since you use an absolute file reference (the path starts with a “/”), it does not matter where this script is located.
