Just noted a unix shell command that makes changing permissions a breeze
Set to writeable permissions:
Code:
for i in `sed -e 's/,.*$//g' < upgrade/3.4.9-3.5.0/file.lst`; do chmod 666 $i ; done
Set back to non-writeable permissions: (after upgrade is done)
Code:
for i in `sed -e 's/,.*$//g' < upgrade/3.4.9-3.5.0/file.lst`; do chmod 644 $i ; done
NOTE: this command is being ran from the xcart/ install dir, where upgrade/ is a subdir.
Replace the directory names in upgrade/3.4.9-3.5.0/ to the proper versions, and each file in the file.lst will be set to chmod 666 for writeable permissions.
Kudos!
