FTP permissions for Calendar file

[Clock]

I have finally got Sunbird to work on an FTP server. Hooray!

I don't know what the permissions for the ics file should be though. Can anyone help?

I am using SmartFTP, so it involves checking (or unchecking) a few boxes for Read, Write, and Execute for the owner, group, and public. I think a permissions number can be entered as well.

I am interested in the best possible security for what I have (Geocities domain), given that I hear FTP isn't the ultimate "correct" way to do things.

Any help is appreciated.

Not getting much of a response here. Just need the chmod # to give this file. Thanks.

Hmm. Isn't this mutually contradictory? Geocity and security?

Well, try 666 or 777. But I wouldn't concider that safe, as everybody, which knows the name and exact location of that .ics-file can access it via the webserver.

Please pardon my cluelessness.

If no one knows the name (it's for syncing my laptop and desktop calendars) and no one knows the location, why is it unsafe?

I just pointed my browser to the address given to me to upload files (simulating Joe Hacker), as well as to a few popular guesses as to where files might lie on a domain, and it wouldn't let me in.

My primary concern is that the file remain undamaged. The information isn't sensitive per se - who cares when my dentist appointments are?

Am I still asking for it?

Maybe they need a story like "Red Asphalt" for internet security as I'm sure it would hit home then. I'm just ign'unt, apparently.
