FileZilla - File/Directory Permissions

Discussion in 'Third-party applications' started by jaa17, Mar 29, 2011.

  1. Hi,

    1. I am in FileZilla. I right click on a web site file or directory and want to change the permissions so users cannot read/write or exacute a file.

    When I do it nothing seems to happen? The rwx bits seem to stay the same. Any idea what I might be doing wrong.

    2. Also, if a user on my website types in a DIRECTORY, they are presented with a list of files in that directory. Is there any way of stopping this?

    3. Google Webmaster seems to be saying it thinks mysite.com and www.mysite.com are different. When I type both these things into internet explorer they both correctly go to www.mysite.com/index.aspx. Why is Google confused?

    Thanks in advance.

    What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to password a directory? You cannot change the permissions using a FTP client.

    Yes. You can disable directory browsing. Connect to the server using IIS 7 Manager.

    Once you are connected go to Directory Browsing and disable it.

    Unfortunately this is how Google works. You may need to setup a 302 redirect script so that mysite.com points to www.mysite.com. You may want to look at the URL Rewrite module in IIS 7 Manager.

  3. You can also tell Google to only index your site with or without www. It's a setting in webmaster tools.
