Hay, i have some files on my server with the owner set to "apache", I'm not quite sure how this happened.
Anyway, i need to change the permission of these files to 0777 so i can download/edit them. However i cannot.
I'm using a 1and1 Linux server and use Plesk to administrate it.
I have the ability to login via SSH. However, if i run chmod or chown i get a "permission denied" error, and if i try to sudo chmod or chown it says the command cannot be found.
When i go to edit my domain details, i get this option
Shell access to server with FTP user's credentials
and have these options
/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/sbin/nologin
/bin/bash (chrooted)
/bin/rbash
Any idea's how i should go about changing the permissions or changing the owner?
Thanks
