I am having a problem that is related to changing permissions. I have been using the WordPress Theme Manager plugin, which I got from here http://www.wp-plugins.net/ in the Admin category. As it turns out, this plugin uploads files to one’s server using the “nobody” user id. Consequently, I can’t delete, edit, copy, change permissions, or otherwise modify these files via SmartFTP or the File Manager in Cpanel. I can edit the files in WordPress, however. I had wanted to set up my blog with Mike Cohen’s Random Image theme, and had a bunch of my images ready to upload and copy over the images that came with the theme. I can’t do this, because I’m not “nobody.” Is there a command line, or a utility, or a feature of SmartFTP that I’m not aware of, that will enable you to change the user id?
By the way, the tutorial podz wrote is now here: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/ftp/
