Here is how you can reset the ownership of files created by apache, so you can delete them.
ssh to the server and
$ sudo blahblah-bananas.sh <path>
where <path> will be:
/www/foobar/docroot/oranges OR, (for everything)
This script makes EVERY file writeable by both human and machine
[rowby@foobar ~]$
Do I repeat that $ sign?ASKER

Did you do ssh before running commands?I am logging in using Bitvise, under the SSH tab.
It is simply saying that the shell script doesn't exist. may be you are not on the correct directory.I assumed I was in the correct directory to do the command, based on the person's instructions to me (see the initial question I posted. ) When you log iin va ssh do you usually start in the document root?

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

You do ssh <ADDRESS> to logon to the server
Then you are on the remote machine. You run a script using sudo, which gives you authority to run as a root -- super user.
