First off, I'm a totally newbie to Linux/Unix/Ensim.
I have a folder that needs to be accessed by anybody from the internet. I go into my ensim control panel and set the permissions on the folder to:
Permissions
Owner Group Others
Read read read
Write write
Execute
but when I attempt to access the frolder from my web browser I receive the following:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /et/ on this server.

Others should have at least execute.
For example, you have a folder [tt]test_dir[/tt] and a [tt]file_inside_test_dir[/tt]:
:: If you only want to access [tt]file_inside_test_dir[/tt] your
[tt]test_dir[/tt] permissions could look something like this [tt]drwx-----x[/tt] (others would only need execute)
:: If you want to be able to open [tt]test_dir[/tt] as well, set permissions to something like this [tt]drwx---r-x[/tt]
:: [tt]file_inside_test_dir[/tt] doesn't need to have execute ([tt]-rw----r--[/tt]) unless it's an executable file (in this case [tt]-rwx---r-x[/tt] would be ok).
