Make files writable

[Porshaw]

In a PHP package that I am trying out with a FP2003 site, after uploading to
the windows server it is necessary that I make two .php files writable. It
appears as though FP prevents this from being possible although I can do it
in Windows.

How can I make these files "writable"?

You have to change permissions for the IUSER account on the server. Not a FP issue.

Mr Rowe,
My fairly reputable isp has informed me that there's no way to change
permissions on the Windows server with the Fpage extensions installed.
Is this one of the limitations of Fpage I've heard about?

Your ISP is wrong!! Permissions for IUSER can be set with or without having the FP extensions
installed, etc.

The facility to change permissions on the server (for complete folders
and the files within them) is built into the FrontPage 2002
extensions. However, this cannot be done (from FrontPage) for folders
that contain server side scripts such as ASP, Perl or .php files (but
folders only containing data files written to by the scripts are not a
problem.)
If your files are in a folder, right click on the folder and choose
properties.
Then clear the box "Allow scripts to be run"
Check the boxes "Allow anonymous upload to this directory" and "Allow
uploaded files to overwrite existing filenames"
These last two boxes allow the scripts to create, delete, and modify
files in the folder.
