All ftp clients allow you to chmod files once you’ve successfully ftp’d in.

However, IF you are going to use an ftp client to chmod files, why dont you use an ftp client to :

1. download the files.
2. make whatever changes you were going to make.
3. upload the changed files.

the reason I say that is that ANY writable files on your server are a security risk.

Note the little disclaimer at the bottom of the file editor:

Note: of course, you can also edit the files/templates in your text editor of choice and upload them. This online editor is only meant to be used when you don’t have access to a text editor or FTP client.

Thats about all the wordpress developers feel is necessary to tell you apparantly.

Below that disclaimer, is a link that explains more about file permissions. Click it, those links exist for a reason.

Most Plugins come with a readme.txt or something similar that explains their installation and use. Typically, though, its merely a matter of uploading the plugins into your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
That obviously wont explain how to use it though, so I reccommend taking a look at the readme file.

Off topic, the popups on your site are terribly annoying.

I have no idea why there are pop-ups to be honest. I don’t use a free server. And the ones I pay do/did not put it up.

Btw you can turn pop-ups off in your settings. ??

The popups comes with your webstats4u. Sinds they have have been took over. My advise is to use statcounter.com if you want to get something without popups.

7Lia,

In response to the comment you left on my site —

Frankly my advice above was the best advice you will recieve. Whether or not you heed it is entirely up to you. .
That said, I spoke matter of factly, nothing else, nothing more.

As for ftp programs for macintosh, my sensibilities would tell me that the majority of ppl here arent on macs, therefore the question would probably be better answered on a site that caters to mac users. I dont use one, so I answered the best I could– using Google. The question also isnt neccessarily a WORDPRESS support question, now is it ??

have a great day, and please dont take offense at the moderation of your comment – i have a contact form for personal correspondance.
