How does Actinic change permissions on .ORD files?

[christopherpm]

When Actinic creates a .ord file, its permissions are set to 200
--w-------.

How does it change the permissions? I want to look at one of these files but cannot change the permissions using CHMOD in WSFTP - It keeps telling me permission denied!

The Actinic scripts must be running in another user on your server (probably www), so they are owned by that user, not the user you are logged on as. You can write perl scripts that change the owner theoretically (and then back so Actinic can get to them). It's been on my list of things to try someday.

Looking at the .ORD files, they all have my username as the owner - but I can't do anything with them since I cannot read them, and that's what I want to do - read it!

Is this Windows or Unix? Can you paste a part of your directory listing?

Hi there

If your server is a windows server, then you will not be able to change permission using WS_FTP I'm afraid.

Also it is not possible to view the .ord files has these are encrypted, you can view the .session files in plain text

Kind Regards
