Question by Elliott: Is there a way to copy file permissions from one linux webhost account to a separate identical account?
I’m transferring my website from one webhost to another and i’m getting all kinds of file permission errors. Instead of going through every file and folder and match up the permissions, is there a way to copy files/folders AND their permissions from one web (ftp) account to another?

Right now I download the files from my old linux account to my windows local machine (where you lose file permissions), and then upload those permissions back to the new account.

if you are using a good ftp client, you should be able to chmod at the public_html level. So chmod 755 and it’s fine.

Or – if you are using ssh , do a recursive chmod like this :
$ chmod -R 755 public_html/

You can be almost certain that no shared hosting provider will let you host a file hosting website on their servers. If you want to do it, you will have to go for dedicated hosting. Check out more about dedicated hosting on the following page.

You could use Javascript to download a file and use the data to update the page dynamically. This is done using the XmlHttpRequest object, but it’s usually easier to use one of the many javascript libraries that are out there
