Setting File Permissions

In order for new files to be viewable on the Web, the world must have permis 

sion to read those files. On some servers, such as Veritas or Champion, the 

accounts are set up so that all files moved to the www directory are given the 

correct permissions by default. However, some other servers, such as Steel, 

require permissions to be set by the account owner. 

Using Spinweb

In addition to setting up accounts to accept Web files, the spinweb utility can 

be used to change file permissions for any new files in the www directory of a 

Steel account.  Make sure all file permissions in the www directory are set 

correctly by running the spinweb command again.
