Hi there,
I has written for me a php script which updates some files. When I upload
the file to Linux server, the first thing I have to do is change permissions
on a sub folder to allow write permissions (otherwise the script fails).
I upload the same script onto Fasthosts servers (Windows) and I just had
seemingly different problems (Script just says page not found).
I looked into fastshosts and found the following posting:
*************
--Access permissions on shared Windows servers--
*Summary *
This article describes the access permissions on a Windows server.
Please note that it is not possible to alter these permissions for Windows
servers on the shared system.
*Permissions*
Full FTP access to the root directory is allowed. This includes the ability
to add/remove folders and files to/from all sub-directories.
Folders above the htdocs folder can only be accessed via FTP and server side
scripts.
The website has read only access (with script execute) to the files in the
web space (i.e. the files below htdocs).
Write permissions are not allowed on the website as this would be a security
risk exposing the website, and the server, to attack by hackers.
The cgi-bin directory has execute permissions.
The access rights to any sub-directories that you create, will be inherited
from the parent directory.
Note: Do not remove the existing folder structure. If you do, and try to
re-create it, the access permissions will not be set correctly.
**********************
Does this just mean I will not be able to do it?
Is this a particularly strict policy?
Any input appreciated.
Kind regards
