    Accessing and modifying server files with FTP

    I am not good with telnet and had my server directories set up so I can access them with cuteftp. (ex. usr/local)

    However, when I am unable to modify or create files. Only download them. Is there a place is WHM or a command in telnet that I can use to change the permissions so I can upload and rewrite over files in this directory? I am trying to change the templates for xpanel if that helps at all.

    Hope someone can help in newbie terms

                  If you can't upload and overwrite files, your host has set the wrong permission on the files or directories. Contact your host.

                      The host doesn't know what it is. I am logged in with root. Is there anything I can configure in telnet or whm to fix this?

                          If the host doesn't know what it is, then you have seriously picked the wrong host.

                              would changing the folder permissions in telnet work? It's something I really want to take care of tonight, is there anything the host can do that i can't?

                                  Do you have read and write access to your www directories? They may just have set your control panel folders as read only.

                                  Have a look in cuteftp for the 'chmod' command and check the file permissions in your home directory. You'll need to know how to do that eventually.

                                              chown might do the trick via SSH
