Answer

Hi,

 

These are folder operations. Assuming you are accessing a website you would modify the permissions of the folder to 755 with this command:

 

sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/juniper/nc/[version number]/

 

Which basically means "SuperUser DO - chmod (modify permissions) 755 (binary number for read/execute access for everyone, and write access for the owner of the file) - you are doing this command on the directory - /usr/local/juniper/nc/[version number]/

 

Next,

 

Once you have the proper access - the 'mkdir' means MAKE DIRECTORY. - and they gave you /Applications/Network Connect.app/Contents/Frameworks so I assume this is the directory folders that need to exist to complete your task.

 

Now - how do you CHMOD - well you either need command line access - some FTP hosts set this up so you can use PUTTY or some other terminal access to enter into your website directory.

 

Also FTP applications allow CHMOD - for example WS FTP PRO is a program I use to access my website. It is windows based. I see my home directory in the left pane - and my remote directory of my website in the right pane. I can click on a folder in the right pane and go to properties. I can then change the permissions of any folder in the chain to the binary number of my choice - you would set it to 755.

 

Then you would click into that next path - and make sure all the folders exist - if not you would use (via command like the 'mkdir' command) or if you are using a windows based tool like WS FTP PRO - you would just say create new folder in the right place.

 

In order for you to make these changes you need to have the ability to command line access your webserver. If it is in your house next to you - just log on - go to the command shell and type the lines.


Lastly you have to have the authorative credential to make these changes. This answer has a lot to take in so please let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Thanks in advance!

Info Request

Hi,

 

Where is this directory located - is it on your laptop or the remote work server? It would make sense that the website is hosted at the remote server end - not on your laptop. Therefore you need administrator access to the on the server.

 

SInce I don't know what exactly you are trying to do - I can only explain in generic terms what the CHMOD and MKDIR commands do.

 

Are you the administrator of the website? Is the remote server also running on windows?

 

Thanks.

i am not the adminstrator for the website only a user. looks like this isn't going to work for me

Accepted Answer

Correct. You will need to affect website permissions. If you are having trouble consult with the system administrator to determine if other users with your setup have issues. They might have a proprietary answer for you today.

 

Thanks for using Just Answer!
