thanks, yosemite
i do have ftp access (though the “developer” set it up after three months chasing him), then i go to the uploads folder, get info and see the following:
owner: 1849
group: 100
octal: 745
i’ve written 777 twice, once replacing 745, and the other replacing 1849. first one didn’t work and second one appears to be blocked, which is the one i should change?
thanks
