Re: [Phpgedview-talk] config.php file writable/read-only

[Shag <sh...@jb...>]

EFTP should work.  That's what I use. :-)  Actually, sorry, I was wrong about not being able to make a file 
read-only on one system and then copying it to another.  Windows is famous for that issue...  I've had 
issues before where I wasn't able to change file permissions, and then a couple of hours later, I was able.  
That may be your problem, sometimes it takes a busy server a little time to make changes.  I'm assuming 
you have access to some kind of panel through your host that allows you to make changes i.e., add 
subdomains, MySQL databases, e-mail accounts...  Been awhile since I used cpanel (common panel in 
use), login and see if you have a file manager or such.  Allows you to delete, move, edit files.  See if you 
can't change your file permissions there.
