I recently installed a Vanilla forum on a subdomain on my hosting account supported from trap17 forums. But I have a problem I cannot change files permissions of a file so I cannot change it. The only solution I found is to delete the file than re upload the changed file from my computer. Any ideas??

Yes, the file may not belong to you. Let me explain.
When an auto-install script adds a file, the 'User' that the script runs under is a generic user on the Server. If the file in question was created by this user, then you are not the 'owner' and cannot modify the permissions. You need to write a script that modifies those file permissions so that it is the 'owner' of the files making the modifications.
I have (at least *had*) a script to do just that. I'll have a look for it and let you know if it is available.

Look in c-panel.You should be able to change the permissions of
the file once you have uploaded it. Each file has a tab where you can set
permissions. For example 0777 gives full read and write permissions
for anybody.

No I have not been able to modify from cpanel too. I deleted the file(.php extension) and then reuploaded with ftp filezilla again. It worked fine. The file was stuck at 644 and won't change
I don't know could you suggest a forum for my site? I tried this Vanilla, but was not such as good. It had problems with extension compatibility. Should I use phpbb??
