Dear jin chen
Thank you for contacting online support.
Please make sure you are setting the permissions properly. I am sending information on how to set the permissions. If you are still unable to set permissions, please include the folder/file(s) that you are unable to set and the exact setting for each you would like and we will review the issue.
To modify Windows permissions using the File Manager:
1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. In the My Products section, select Hosting.
3. Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Manage Account.
4. In the Content section, click File Manager.
5. Select the directory or directories for which you'd like to set permissions.
6. Click the Permissions icon.
7. Select the permissions for the selected files.
Read:
Selecting "Read" enables anonymous users to view files in the directory through a Web browser.
Deselecting "Read" presents users of your Web site that reference files in the directory with a security challenge. To view the files, users must authenticate into the hosting account by entering the FTP user name and password.
NOTE: You must select the "Anonymous Access" setting in the IIS Settings for a page in the directory to be viewable through a Web browser.
Write:
Selecting "Write" enables anonymous users to use your site's applications to modify the contents of a directory. Select "Write" only if your site's applications create files or write to files in the directory.
Inherit:
Selecting "Inherit" removes the explicit "Read" and "Write" permissions on a directory, so it inherits its parent directory's permissions. When a directory inherits permissions from its parent, the directory's permissions are dynamically updated when the parent's permissions are updated. Deselecting "Inherit" applies the explicit "Read" and "Write" permissions to the directory. When a directory does not inherit permissions from its parent, the directory's permissions are unaffected by updates to the parent's permissions.
Reset all children to inherit:
Selecting "Reset all children to inherit" causes the "Inherit" setting to be cascaded to all of the subdirectories below the directory. This condition has the affect of removing any explicit permissions that may have been set.
8. Click OK.
These are the different directory permissions you can apply to the custom directories you create for your Windows hosting account using the Hosting Control Center:
Read Permission
This enables anonymous users to view the contents of a directory.
Web Permission
This enables anonymous users to view files in a directory through a Web browser using HTTP.
Browse Permission
This enables anonymous users to view all files in the directory (in directory listing format) by pointing their Web browser to the directory path. You must enable “Read” and “Web” permissions for "Browse" permission to work properly.
Write Permissions
This enables anonymous users to modify the contents of a directory.
Set Root
This enables you to set the directory/subdirectory folder as an application root in the Web server within your site. An application root is the root directory for an application. All directories and files contained within the application root are considered part of the application.
Reset
Click this to reset the permissions for this directory to their default values. This action will remove the directory from the list of custom-permission directories (but the directory on the file system will not be deleted).
Please let us know if we can help you in any other way.
