In reply to: Flie Permissions for Installing WP and ThemesThe client get telephone services through the host and they don’t want to switch.

In reply to: Flie Permissions for Installing WP and ThemesI have ftp access – the client is using a web host that doesn’t specialize in web hosting, so it’s been kind of unique.
In the past I did a simple html site for the client, so no issues, but when they wanted an update I had the “brilliant” idea that WordPress would be better for them so they could update the site themselves, but I did not realize what I was getting into when the web host didn’t have a control panel and WP install.
I don’t know much about the host at all, but they did say the client is on a Windows web server.
I have tried using filezilla to modify permissions, but it doesn’t seem to take, which makes sense after finding out it’s a Windows box. Customer support said they could change them, but they need to know the exact info.
Sorry I don’t have more info – It’s kind of a strange arrangement.

In reply to: Flie Permissions for Installing WP and ThemesWould it be fair to say that the WP admin user needs Full Control of the website’s root?
I’ve been trying to research and compare chmod to Windows permissions. It looks like chmod is usually 644, but to be on the safe side of getting everything installed and updated, it *seems* like 744 would be good in chmod terms, which I think relates to Full Control in Windows.

In reply to: Flie Permissions for Installing WP and ThemesThanks, but that isn’t quite it. I think I’m looking for something like chmod permissions, but for Windows.
