chmodding is done by entering 'chmod 777 file-to-chmod' on the shell
prompt or by sending a raw 'SITE CHMOD 777 file-to-chmod' to ftp
servers that have this feature. But be warned: People who have as less
knowledge as you should better first learn a bit about unix -- otherwise
you could create security holes of your provider's system. The scripts by
matt are commonly known to have lots of bugs and sec-holes so be careful!
I only trust my own scripts ;)
