Hey everyone
I am having a heck of a time with this. I have a script I am trying to set the CHMOD for on a Linux server that runs on Apache. WS_FTP is telling me that Chmod may not be supported by remote host. Any ideas??? Let me know if you do.puckchewer@cs.com

This has happened to me before. All I did was close WS FTP down totally, then restart it. Log into the account and CHMOD worked fine again.

Well,i tried it, and it didn't work. I dunno what's goin on. Sounds like it is something with the server. I don't know if I have write permission on the FTP site. I guess I'll just have to mess around with it.

Can't you do it via SSH?

Well, it was my script, the server has been setup so it doesn't have to have CHMOD. That was simple

Why would you use WS_FTP?

You should use ProFTPD, it's quite good, I personally dislike WS_FTP very much :)

Isn't WS_FTP and proFTPD not the same thing?
proFTPD is a FTP server and WS_FTP is a FTP Client...

Just a note:

If you have a microshaft browser you dont need a ftp program.
Just type in:
ftp://loginid:password@yourdomain.com

It looks just like you are browsing your c drive, drag and drop between your desktop and the ftp window.

right click and select properties to chmod.

It really helps when looking through the folders on your server, especially when weeding out old images!

I think AdamTuttle is confusing WS_FTP with Wu-FTPd
