 Hello, I have purchased the admin tools Professional 4.0.2 component again and I do not see that this version has the option to change the permissions of the folders and files as I had the previous one. Where can I change the permissions with admin tools as in the past?

Thank you.

Are you on a Windows host? Please remember that Windows never had the concept of file ownership and permissions. It has ACL (access control lists) which can only be modified when you are logged in as a Windows account belonging to the Administrator group. Since the web server is never running as an Administrator account the PHP language doesn't even have any features to manage Windows ACLs, therefore we obviously can't provide an ACL editing feature for Windows hosts in place of the Fix Permissions feature. Since trying to "change permissions" on a Windows server has no effect we simply don't even show that option when we detect that Admin Tools is running under Windows.
