 * Hi,
 * I am able to edit single files easily to allow me to edit the contents of a single
   page. Is there a quick / easy way to change the permisions on all files so that
   only I can edit them. Bearing in mind, I would like the public to view them but
   not be able to write to or execute. I am using filezilla if this helps.
 * Ryan

 * I am not sure what kind of _files_ are you editing to change the **content**.
   Are you sure you use WP? All the content in a WP site is stored in the database…
   so there are no files to edit.
