Setting Directory Permissions

You can set the directory permissions using any of the methods below:

JoomXplorer

JoomXplorer is a back end extension for Joomla! that gives you access o the files in your site. Simply navigate JoomXplorer's interface and change the ttributes of the needed directories.

FTP

Simply access the FTP for your hosting account and change the attributes f the directories. Either using an FTP manager or your internet browser.

Control Panel

In some hosting accounts you can manipulate the files and directories in your ite via the control panel. Simply access your control panel and change the ecessary permissions to the necessary directories.

This is not an issue with Joomla! 1.5 if you set the FTP access for Joomla! so that it can directly access the directories via FTP.
