Could someone please checkout this link please, and let me know whether you get the same 403 forbidden as i do.

I have hosting with Easily.co.uk, i had trouble the other week with "owner/group permissions,they where all set wrong, the tech support at easily fixed the problem, but now i have upped some more files the problem has reared it head again, only the new files are affected.
One of the tech guys has today told me that he can view them, i suspect (as he has access to the server and my details) he has d/l them via ftp, this i can also do.

I use filezilla, i can change the permissions but they never stick.

Any assistance more than welcome.

Sure you do not have a .HTACCESS sitting somewhere? it does sound like file permissions though if it only affects new files. Do you have any SSH access to your hosting, if so try CHMODing the root directory and sub folders/files instead of via FTP.

If you use Filezilla you could try setting the permissions on that file or the whole folder that its in.

About 1/2 way down this page should do it:

Thanks for that, but having tried and failed with the above, there must be some setting server side that is stopping the changes sticking.

As said above, it'll be a web server permissions issue, fixed via using htaccess or ssh

Most peculiar but i have found a work around to the problem.

The root folder is website, if i drop the files in there 1st then move them to any of the sub folders, i can view, d/l the files without problem.
