hi everyone

can anyone please tell me how I can automatically make all the folders and files within a directory chmod to 777 with .htaccess

even the ones that get created after.

thanks

You can't

.htaccess applies only to HTTP requests and responses not to system configuration.

you need to edit the permission manually or configure the default file permission on system level.

Set your umask or get your hosting company to do it. A good sys admin would advise against 777 though - that gives everybody any access, including delete.
