I'm trying to change the permission settings on a search script I'm trying to install. I'm getting this error message, and have absolutely no idea what's going on (I'm using CuteFTP)...

[search.pl]
COMMAND:> SITE CHMOD 755 search.pl
501 SITE option not supported.

Thanks for your help!

Hi dsainternet,

If this is a *nix server, try to SSH/Telnet in and chmod the file. If it's a windows server, you can't chmod the file.

Regards,

CUTE ftp lets you change permissions by just right clicking on the file and choosing permissions (or properties or something..)

I think it lets you enter raw commands as well

just type in "chmod <mode> <filename>"

Instead of

SITE CHMOD 755 search.pl

use just

chmod 755 search.pl

Make sure you are in the directory where search.pl resides.
