localhost and CHMOD

42
Hello,
Im working on vista on both my home computer and at work and I got a localhost om both machines, the problem with this is that I can't CHMOD my folders for file uploading. Is there some trick to be able to upload the files on your local machine? I tried to change permission on "everyone" but that didn't solve anything.

I also tried to search on google for a solution but couldn't find anything useful.

chmod is a unix command for changing permissions on a file or directory. Being that Windows has its own way of handling permissions, I don't know if it would work. (unless they implemented the same command on Windows).

Regards,

Jeff

So if I want to play around with uploading scripts I have to do it on the web?

luckily actionscript 3 is able to enable "test upload" so instead of actually uploading it you just simulate the upload.

If someone else is looking for a solution you can read this.
