  Hi, we would like to expand file permissions to have ability to edit advanced-cache.php and other files. Currently all these options aren’t available and most files even not visible in the ‘file editor’ plugin. Thanks.
  I’ve tried to remove the advanced-cache.php by sftp, however, i’ve got this: ‘Status: Retrieving directory listing of ‘/htdocs/wp-content/advanced-cache.php’…
  Command: cd ‘/htdocs/wp-content’
  Response: New directory is: ‘/htdocs/wp-content’
  Command: cd ‘advanced-cache.php’
  Error: Directory /htdocs/wp-content/advanced-cache.php: no such file or directory
  Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing
  Command: rmdir ‘/htdocs/wp-content/advanced-cache.php’
  Error: rmdir /htdocs/wp-content/advanced-cache.php: permission denied
  Status: Retrieving directory listing of ‘/htdocs/wp-content’…
  Status: Listing directory /htdocs/wp-content
  Status: Directory listing of ‘/htdocs/wp-content’ successful’

  Permission points to 777, i tried to change it but with no success. These files aren’t editable.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there!

  Thanks for getting in touch, and I appreciate your patience. Regarding your inquiry, editing the advanced-cache.php file is not permitted because it’s a symlinked file in our system.

  Could you please let me know what you were trying to achieve by editing this file? With more information about your goal, I can provide better guidance or suggest alternative solutions.

  Looking forward to hearing from you!
