Hi,

I don't know about schieldhost.com, so I cannot help there.

I could try to help you to open up the directory (chmod 777 style, which is
bad), but it is really better you know what you are doing, so you can fix
this yourself in future.
I suggest you read up a little on filepermission on Linux/GNU systems.
(links follow)

Do you have shell access to the computer where this material is located??
Can you start anything like BASH, SH, etc??
Or telnet?

If you have: log in and use commands like
ls -l
chown
etc..

Have a look at some online documentation, eg here is some from redhat:

https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/getting-started-guide/
look under: 11. Shell Prompt Basics
and click Ownership and Permissions

or if you have the time: read the whole chapter 11.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Erwin Moller
