I am not sure how things are done on Yahoo, but most FTP clients have chmod command to change file permissions, so if you have FTP access you can use that.
.htaccess would come handy if the directory is not set up to be used as CGI (in other words if it doesn't have Options +ExecCGI set.)

As moxliukas said, most FTP clients allow you to set your permissions when you're uploading. While I've never used their servers before, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't allow FTP access. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if .htaccess files don't work as you would expect in the normal user directories they offer.
It would appear that with what you want to do, a normal free server won't work. There are other hosts that offer limited access including the things you need for free, although I don't know any offhand. If you're looking to test out scripts (in a non-production setting, obviously), perhaps you could contact jcwren about an account on Perlmonk.org. | [reply] |
