I have just got new hosting for my website and I have a directory /www which I put all my website files within and a folder in that directory called 'store'.

Within 'store' is several files and folders, I want to give the folder 'store' and all files and folders within the 'store' folder all permissions.

How do I do this? I am guessing via .htaccess.

I have tried inserting

chmod 777 -R /store

Into the .htaccess file but didn't work. Threw a big on screen error at me.

I want to make all the files and folders within /store writable.
