to add to that,
chmod  let's you change the permissions settings on a file.
the typical change is
chmod 755 file_name
or
chmod +x file_name



Since, on your machine, your user acct is owner of the file, you  
already have read write and execute privileges
On the server, though, this is not the same account but the file's  
settings may be the same...

if you're using a *nix emulator like min-gw, you will still need to  
pick up some *nix skills.
