I have looked through the instuctions and the tutorial on the course web page, and I can't find out how to unprotect the images, which I think is what you told me to do. They are saved as jpeg. I'm not sure if that makes a difference in your response. 

Joanna,

You haven't subscribed to the class discussion list yet (please go to

http://www.cs.trinity.edu/mailman/listinfo/csci1301

and fill out the form to subscribe to our list) so I am sending
a copy of your question and my reply to our list because I know
others have this question as well.

In the first lab there was reference to a Unix tutorial which contains
answers to your question. This link

http://www.cs.trinity.edu/Other_Attractions/unix/

is the second link below

http://www.cs.trinity.edu/About/The_Courses/cs101l/00.lab/00.lab.new.j.html#RTFToC20

Chapter 4 of the Unix Tutorial contains information on
file permissions (Section 4.4) To see this go to

http://www.cs.trinity.edu/Other_Attractions/unix/chapter4.html

and scroll down to section 4.4.

Suppose you have a picture, named foo.jpg in your
web directory (i.e. Local/HTML-Documents).  Then to make this file
public (so it can be viewed in a web browser), enter the command
(assuming you are in the top level of your home directory)

chmod 644 Local/HTML-Documents/foo.jpg

The 644 means 6=read/write for owner, 4=read for your group and 4=read
for the public.
