I work in my projects in windows localhost before to host it in the
web (XAMPP as server), so i cant work with the flutter in localhost
cause it give me always a message to chmod 2 folders who are
impossible in windows OS.
is there any line to change in the flutter files to skip the warning
chmod message ?
Thanks

Hi taghaboy,

Was in the same boat except I'm using WAMP Server. However, I found a
fix for this a few months ago on the Flutter site and saved the
details.

Also, - a BIG thank you to the person who originally wrote this on the
"original" Flutter site - extremely helpful and much appreciated tip!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok... here goes... (the folder paths below should be changed to your
folder paths):

In Windows, we don't have the "chmod" command but you can use the
"attrib" command in a command prompt (also known as: ms-dos console)

Example:

If your Flutter plugin is in "C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins
\Flutter\", and you want to enable write access for everyone (i.e. as
they do chmod 777 in Unix), do this:

Open a Command Prompt. One way is to... Go to Start > All Programs >
Accessories > Command Prompt

Once the Command Prompt is open, type the line below replacing the
folder path with "your" Flutter plugin folder path on "your" local
machine:


attrib -r +s C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\Flutter\cache\


After that's been typed do yourself a favor a double check the path
for typos, etc - if there's one little thing wrong with the path
you'll have to start all over again.

Once you've double checked simply Hit Enter!

Apply this same process for every folder with the write error access
message displayed for Flutter.

Hope that helps!! - Alex

UPDATE! - Okay... I found an even easier way to do this and I think
it's also mentioned on this forum somewhere.

Whatever folder Flutter has a problem with once installed simply:

1. Cut & paste those folders to your desktop (or wherever you want)
2. Re-create both folders within the Flutter (fresh-page) folder and
name them the same names as the ones you just moved to your desktop
3. Copy the files from each folder on your desktop and paste them in
the "new" folder you re-created in the Flutter (fresh-page) folder

For example - Go to your desktop and copy the file from within the
"cache" folder and paste it into the newly re-created "cache" folder
in the Flutter (fresh-page) folder.

No go back to WordPress and refresh the page - much faster - much
easier!

If anyone else has an even better solution please let's us know -
thanks!
