Putting installation files on server


#1

Hi Everyone,


I'm trying to do the above on Ubuntu 11.04 on a comp in my home, but haven't had much luck via FTP. I've disabled/configured a ton to try to get rid of security restrictions, leading me to suspect that my ISP doesn't really like home servers...


I'm now considering the other option in the Ushahidi manual, namely putting the files on a flash drive and putting them on the server that way. However, the manual mentions that the unix commands for changing permissions on the files are quite technical. Here's a question: is it possible for me to change the permissions on the files on my current OS (Ubuntu) via the GUI and then put them on the server, thus saving myself a foray into the subtleties of chmod?


Thanks
