Changing plug-in file permissions (OS X)

Managing plug-ins : Enabling the FileMaker Script Engine to use plug-ins : Changing plug-in file permissions (OS X)

Note The following information is for server administrators.

To change plug-in file permissions:

1. Start the Terminal application and use the cd command to set your path as needed.

2. Enter the following at the command line:

chmod g+rx <filepath>

chmod g+wrx <filepath>

The g+rx is necessary because plug-ins and system-level scripts must have the group read and executable bits enabled. Use the g+wrx form to permit write permission as well. Some plug-ins or scripts that use preferences or folders of additional files may require write permission to those files or folders.
