Hello!

I am know a little Linux/Unix but not a whole lot. I ran the great ZIPPER upgrade and things went very very smooth. Great tool!

I am now trying to edit the tivoweb.cfg file in the /tivowebplus directory so I can change the port and add a username / password.

Using an Windows FTP client I downloaded the file to my PC and edited the FILE with UltraEdit.

The problem is now getting the updated file back. When using CuteFTP to copy it back I get an error message

550 Error opening file; Read-only file system.
ERROR:> Requested action not taken (e.g., file or directory not found, no access).

Looking at the file permissions I see I 777 -rwxrwxrwx for tivoweb.cfg.
I am no permissions expert but am I just missing the obvious? Should I go about this a different way? I tried the telnet connection and JOE editor to directly edit (VI is bad but JOE isn't very nice either for the 21st century anways) but read only also. So I am guessing permissions...but they look ok!

Thanks for any help on I am guessing a level 1 unix/linux question.

Mark

File permissions and read-only file system are two different things. Type rw at bash to get read-write access.
