Heloo there...I was wondering if there is anyone to help me with this question. As you can read also in the Subject of this thread: How to Set permissions: e.g chmod 755 on FTP Program???? :lol: Sorry for this newbie question :P I use CuteFTP for uploading files and now i'm learning to install the cgi and php scripts but the problem is to upload the files with the chmod.... So can anybody help me with this question? Does any particular FTP Program is needed to do this??? :?: :?: :?:

chmod and CuteFTP

To access the chmod command from CuteFTP:

* Left click on a file or directory on your server to highlight it.
* Right click on the file or directory and from the menu that appears choose "Change File Attributes"
* From the menu, select the "chmod(UNIX)" option.
* On the "Change File Attributes" dialogue box you will be able to set the check boxes or enter in the chmod number
* Note: Older versions of CuteFTP may not allow you to enter a number and the location of the chmod command may be slightly different, but it will still appear somewhere on the right-click menu.


and just as a bonus, here's a page that'll convert your chmod codes to and from read/ write/ execute privs:

Hope that helps :)
