OT: CHMOD on Windows?

So, 666 is only read/write and 777 is read/write/execute. I knew it was
something simple like that but just couldn't remember.

Command line, sure, but it would also work from a BAT or COM file or WSH
(windows scripting host) or anything that can send a command to the Windows
shell.
Some hosts allow you to run CACLS on your directories. Some do not.

Thanks, lionstone.

But I have to do this with host priveleges, right? And I have to do it from
a command line on the server, right?

Apart from being the sign of the devil, 666 means read/write permissions
for everybody.

4 is read
2 is write
1 is execute

Add the numbers together and you get all possible combinations from 0
(no permissions) to 7. The order of the digits represents owner, group,
rest of the world.

Windows calls it an "Access Control List", which is why the command is
unpronounceable.

CACLS (change access control list settings is how I remember it) is what
you're looking for.
Basic usage:

CACLS filename [/G user:permission] [/R user:permission] [/P
user:permission] [/D user:permission]

You can specify more than one user in each command (/G user:permission
user:permission), but I normally am just doing it for either IUSR or my FTP
account, so I'm a little rusty. :)

/T is used if you want to apply the ACL to all specified files in the
current directory and subdirectories (you can use DOS wildcards * and ? to
specify more than one file at a time without using /T, but it won't hit
subdirectories that way).

/E is used if you want to edit the current ACL rather than replace it
(you'll almost always be using /E).

/C says to continue on access denied errors (only applies if you're
specifiying more than one file/user).
/G stands for "grant"
/R stands for "revoke"
/P stands for "replace"
/D stands for "deny"

Allowed values for "permission" are:
N - none (except you can't "grant none" or "deny none", N can only be used
with /P)
R - read
C - change (write)
F - full control (create, delete, etc)

Examples:
To grant IUSR permission to create new files in a directory, you'd enter
CACLS directoryname /E /G IUSR_SERVERNAME:F

If you want to grant IUSR read-only permission for all the files in a
certain directory and its subdirectories, you'd enter
CACLS directoryname /E /G /T IUSR_SERVERNAME:R

To specifically deny write access over the same, you could do
CACLS directoryname /E /D /T IUSR_SERVERNAME:C

Thanks, guys....

<glug>

I didn't want to have to go back to the host....

So - 666 is equivalent to what permissions then? I believe that 777 is
read/write/execute for everyone....
