Changing File and Directory Access Permissions in File Manager

If you have files or web pages that you want to make inaccessible on the Internet, change these files' access permissions in File Manager.

To change permissions of a file or a directory:

1. Go to Websites & Domains > domain name > File Manager.

2. Click the row corresponding to the file or directory whose permissions you want to change and then click Change Permissions.

   Note

   File Manager does not show the Change Permissions button for files and directories owned by a non-subscription user (for example, the root or apache user). It is not possible to change permissions of those files and directories.

3. Select the permissions you want to grant or deny to the user groups.

4. If you are changing permissions of a directory, you can make its children files and directories inherit the changed permissions. To do so, select the "Change permissions recursively" checkbox.

5. When you have finished changing permissions, click Save.
