Chmod

[Dark Matter]

Seems on the forums quite a few people have problems using the CHMOD attributes command, even though it is simple using an ftp proggy. As you can also change these permissions using tuxbox commander I was wondering if anyone thought that it would be possible to write some code or plugin where this command could be executed out from a menu?....cheers

would be easy enough to create a script to chmod files activated from a menu, but then I think the users of this script would only be wanting to chmod "cough" files that are totally unsupported by this forum, so the script would never be embedded into an image, so it self would need adding and chmodding

ok thanks - what if the menu pointed to a folder "say for eg" the folder where the camd2 resides....from there u select a file and change the permmissions if u want?....of course it's up to the individual, only if they want to, and dependant on what files r there..

thanks

What about the Telnet method, DM? This is dead easy!! Say there's a file called myfile.so that lives in /lib/tuxbox/plugins that needs 755'ing...

In Telnet:

cd /lib/tuxbox/plugins <enter>
chmod 755 myfile.so <enter>

This is handy if there's a few files in that folder that need the treatment, one after the other. Or, if ALL the files in a folder need doing:

chmod 755 /lib/tuxbox/plugins /*

Or. if only certain files:

chmod 755 /lib/tuxbox/plugins /*.so

for example- and so on and henceforth... Cheers- AL
