: Cannot alter file permission on server (550). Is this because I have no domain name? I am building a site on a CMS (modx) for a client who has not decided on their domain name. I have access
I am building a site on a CMS (modx) for a client who has not decided on their domain name. I have access to WHM so just set up an account with out pointing any domain name to it and began developing just using the URL
example.com/~newsite
Everything seemed to be going well until I installed TinyMCE (the WYSIWYG text editor) which allows you to browse and upload images on the server and add them to page content. The editor worked fine but I just couldn't access any files on the web server.
Looking into the issue I saw that many files that were part of TinyMCE were non executalbe (644). I tried changing them but got a 550 error, eg:
550 Could not change perms on jquery-1.4.2.js: Operation not permitted
Could this be something to do with the way I am accessing the files on FTP? I am using the hosting servers IP address as the host, rather than a hostname.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

A 550 FTP error means you don't have permission to perform a particular operation (write to a directory, modify a file, delete a file, change the permissions on a file, etc.). It has nothing to do with whether your files reside directly in the webroot of a domain or if it's under a subdirectory.
