chmod question

[zoky_redhat]

Hello people!
I am new here and my english is pretty bad so this will probably will be very funny post

I red some old posts on this forum, and if I undestand well with ftp accounf only i can't change file permitions (ch mod), am I right?
Can i do that wit shell account?

I saw that you on few places write about safe mod... does that mean that I can't run some scripts here wich I can run on some other server (which don't use safe mod)?
I try to run some e-mail script (which work fine on some other servers) but it won't work (it was disabled for security reasons - that showed up in my browser). Is that caouse of safe mod or I mess up something?
Does the safe mod has any revelatioship with shell of ftp accounts (I mean if I have a shell acconut should
everything still be in safe mode)?

Thank you for help!

No, you're wrong. You CAN change file permissions via FTP - moats ftp programs have a feature called chmod that will do just fine.

Can i do that wit shell account?

You can also do it with a shell account.

I saw that you on few places write about safe mod... does that mean that I can't run some scripts here wich I can run on some other server (which don't use safe mod)?

Yes, that's correct.

I try to run some e-mail script (which work fine on some other servers) but it won't work (it was disabled for security reasons - that showed up in my browser). Is that caouse of safe mod or I mess up something?

No, it's the because php mail(); function has been disabled on polarhome. Most mailer scripts won't work here.

Does the safe mod has any revelatioship with shell of ftp accounts (I mean if I have a shell acconut should
everything still be in safe mode)?

I'm not quite sure. There was some discussion about a script that would allow mail for shell user though I have no idea if it works now. Perhaps someone other knows the answer or I'll check later.

Thank you for help!

A smal update. U can use mail(); if you have a shell account on freebsd.
Note: just freebsd server and just shell account there.

On all other server's you can't use php mail.
