Enable Write Permissions

Overview

This article explains how to enable write permissions on your web hosting account. Write permissions are typically required by websites or web applications that need to create or update files like generating a sitemap.

You do not need to enable write permissions for FTP file uploading.

Security Considerations

There are security implications in enabling write permissions. If your website experiences a security breach or there is a security exploit in your web applications, malicious or unwanted files may be created within your hosting space. We only recommend enabling write permissions if you actually require it.
