does anyone know how to write a script that will change file permissions. because the Admin blocked me from altering any of my files im only allowed to read and i heard a script like this can bypass it but i dont know how to write it.
This seems to me like a violation, sorry if I have not understood that properly. Why should an admin block access, any reason behind that?
