I am not able to upload avatars from a normal user acount and is only do able from the admin pannal. I read about changing the chmod 666 to chmod 777 and dont know how to do it. I know you have to click on a file but dont know where it is and what its called (it will still be default name) as my dads friend did it for me as i am only 14 and have very little experience of the subject.

I would be greatful ifsomeone could tell me how i would do this.

Thanks.

Do you know how to use a FTP or where to get one?

heloo there

i'd apreciate if u tell me what program u are using so i can tell u about it , it self.

usually it's a right click > chmod > select all or type 777

Hi, sorry zaher. I dont exactly know what you mean by program? Yes im using FTP and there is no file names chmod. Ive spent all morning serching for it but i is nowhere to be found. As soon as i find the file i will know how to change it to chmod 777 but i cant find it like i said.

Thanks for all your help so far.

u may also have a look at this

I use filezilla if thats what you mean?

ok below how to chmod using filezilla

• Left click on a file or directory on your remote window to highlight it.
  
• Right click on the file or directory and from the menu that appears choose "File Attributes"
  
• You will then be able to set the check boxes or enter in the chmod number
