Assign file permissions in jumpbox

These files were not modified through Core FTP Lite or any other ftp client i was using, so I had to login to the jumpbox as root and pass the chmod command to change permissions

sudo –i

(logs you in temporarily as root)

chmod og=rw /var/data/joomla15/xyz/abc.php
