How do you do a CHMOD on Ws_Ftp Pro? I've been trying to figure it out. I know someone here told me once, but I can't remember the name of the topic. Please help.

Thanks In Advance.

Highlight the file, then go to

File>Operations>FTP Commands>CHMOD

Or, right-click on the file and click 'properties'.
(vito - I just figured that out yesterday, after doing it your way for some time) :)

You're right. I was just too lazy to explain both ways, so I just showed the one way. :)

I'm too lazy to use the first way anymore...
Or anything three menus deep, for that matter...

Sorry but I tried WS_FTP and it is not even close to the power and ease of use of aceFTP.

Try it if you want:

We're discussing WS_FTP *Pro*, which is packed with features aceFTP doesn't have -- batch mode, append mode, file synchronization are a few I didn't see listed for aceFTP. Also, WS_FTP pro has been around forever and has tech support available. So I don't understand how it's 'not even close' to aceFTP? Individual preferences vary.

Woops forgive this newbie's previous post. :)

I think I'll start a thread kindly asking for comments on product vs product. Things like batch mode, append mode, are new 2 me. Great forum by the way much to learn here. Cheers!

Well, I had my friend CHMOD the wrong files. So then I went back and tried to find the feature, but apparently it's not on my Version. That or I can't find it. Since it was a simple transformation(666), I just changed the properties to read and write all the way across.

Thanks though.
