Problem with editing files in file manager

[frajer]

Hello, im on the phone right now, and i have to change something in my forum .htaccess, but after editing, it says "Failed to update file".

I had that problem on KeyHelp 20.0, so i thought its a 20.0 problem, but after upgrading to 20.1 i still cant edit it.

I tried also .html and .php files but still the same problem.

How can i fix it?

EDIT: I forgot to say, i had that issue on DigitalOcean, and i moved to another hosting but still the same problem.

This sounds, that your file permissions aren't correct.

Please check if the files belong to the correct owner and have appropriate file permissions.

(You may want to post a screenshot if you are unsure.)

What permissions do you mean? 775 or 777?

Hello, i changed permissions to 777, now it works. Thanks!

By The Way, does KeyHelp have official Discord server?

No.

Although it works, the 777 permission is never a good choice. Please check the file owner. I guess the files belongs to root (or somebody else) and not the user it should be.
(You may have copied the files as root when setting up the account.)
All files should belong to the appropriate user account.
If you are logged in as a user "testuser", all files within it's /www/ folder should belong to the user "testuser".

Can you please refine the editor? It does not show the full code in 1 screen view. You have to scroll vertically or horizontally.

I have now added a full screen mode for the editor.
