| + | ==== File Permissions ==== | ||
| + | An important point in the fun_plug installation. The "fun_plug" file on the device needs to have the executable permissions. Otherwise known as 777 for the chmod command. This will give it read write and execute by all users on the system. | ||
| + | This is achieved by executing the chmod command (given below) from the directory of the fun_plug. | ||
| + | |||
| + | chmod 777 fun_plug | ||
| + | |||
| + | The key is being able to do this. In earlier versions of the D-Link firmware, this could be done through ftp. All one had to do is set-up an account with read write permissions. Then through a command line version of an ftp client one could execute this command. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The D-Link firmware version 1.09 does not allow FTP users to change permissions. However the earlier version 1.06 does. If users are stuck with changing permissions, you should install firmware 1.06. Then proceed to install fun_plug. If the user wants features in the latest firmware they can still upgrade and retain fun_plug functionality provided that the fun_plug script has kept the executable permissions. | ||
