New File: Type the new file name (don't forget the 3 letter ending - eg. ****.html for a web page; ****.txt for text file).

Rename: Select the file or folder (only one) you wish to change.

NOTE: For chmod, first enter a numeric value.

Chmod: Changes the permissions for files and folders (only on Unix like systems).

Setting permissions by numeric values:

400	-	read by owner
040	-	read by group
004	-	read by anybody
200	-	write by owner
020	-	write by group
002	-	write by anybody
100	-	execute by owner
010	-	execute by group
001	-	execute by anybody

The above numeric Permissions can be added to set a certain permission, eg:
chmod 644 file.txt would be calculated by

400+040+004+200+000+000+000+000 = 644

This gives full editing rights, read only for other and no execution rights for anybody, which is fine as a text file is not so important.

A directory must be executable to enable changes within that directory. Set permission to 755. The right to execute is also necessary for script files like YouFileName.cgi.
