FileZilla:
The Filezilla software program is a free-to-use FTP utility. It allows the user to transfer local computer file to the remote computer. Filezilla is available in both client side and server side versions. Filezilla supports different operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports FTP, SFTP, and FTPS protocols.
Every file and folder that exists on your web server has a set of permissions that you can change using Filezilla. Each file and folder has three basic permission types
- Read permission, whether the file and folder are readable by the web server.
- Write permission, whether the file and folder are writable by the web server.
- Execute permission, whether the file and folder are executable by the web server.
Each set permissions has a numerical code assigned to it, it helps the user to identify what type of permissions are assigned to that file or folder. Default file and folder permission in a cPanel server are 644 and 755 respectively.
