superdub10: Hey everyone, I', having issues with this

I get this error when attempting chmod;

chmod: cannot access 'ftl.sh': No such file or directory

the file exists, I can see it.

Any idea what I'm missing?
Hi there,

OK, what you need to do is right-click on FTL's .sh file, go to "Properties" then go to the "Permissions" tab and check the box where it says "Allow executing as program"

superdub10: Thank you both! However, still no luck

stuart@SlaveII:/media/stuart/data/Downloads$ chmod +x gog_ftl_advanced_edition_2.0.0.2.sh

the above is entered... and nothing happens?
Now that you have the proper permissions on the .sh file for FTL, go to the directory where gog_ftl_advanced_edition_2.0.0.2.sh is located, open up a terminal in that directory, and type the following in terminal:

./gog_ftl_advanced_edition_2.0.0.2.sh

and hit Enter.

See, when you give a file execute permission (the "x" flag for chmod) there is no output because the operation was successful in doing what you wanted it to do, namely give that file execute permissions :)
