Set your File Protections

The files shared in the "public_html" directory or its subdirectories must be "world readable". Subdirectories must be "executable".

New files might be set up correctly automatically. You can check this with the command "ls -l". If not, enter the following commands after creating new files or directories:

chmod +r filename (for files)
chmod +x directory (for directories)
