chmod

  • PHP

    chmod('/path/to/foobar', 0644);

    Ruby

    File.chmod('/path/to/foobar', 0644)

    Notice the leading zero in both examples (0644). Both PHP and Ruby have built-in support for octal numbers, the traditional way of representing file permissions on Unix-like systems. Be sure to include the leading zero so your results are as you intended.
