Setting up special permissions

Inside this video Zac mentions you may need to set special permissions on your live server. Uploading at the end of this series having problems with it reading the files from this course. Where can I learn regarding the special permissions? Not sure if this will fix my problem but worth learning about.

It's mean about the OS (Operating system) permissions, because most Wordpress Sites uses Linux as the OS in the servers. So you need to set a group of permissions for the files (write, read and execute). Here are some great websites talking about this topic where you can learn more about this.

In addition to already accepted answer, you can learn a bit about that topic in the Console Foundations Course here at Treehouse, especially in the video about file permissions. ;)
