4WH project: document how to chmod via FTP

Team Member Joined: 09 Jan 2002 Posts: 147 Location: UK

Hi,

I've come up with what I thin would be a really useful project for us to undertake: document how to chmod files through our favourite FTP programs. So many people don't seem to know how to do this, that I think such a resource is necessary.

A few paragraphs, illustrated with screenshots, for each FTP program should suffice I think. I'm volunteering to do SmartFTP, who's going to do another?

I'll do Transmit 1.7 for the Mac.

What format do you want it in? or should we just post it here?

Text as either plain text or HTML
Screenshots as JPEGs or GIFs (you know when to choose which)

If you could email all the stuff to peter ##at## 4webhelp ##dot## net then I can assemble it - it's easier than scraping it from the forum Smile

Thanks,
Peter

I use FAR (http://www.rarlabs.com/) with ProxyFTP Plugin for FTP.

Just select a right file and then press CTRL+A, select desired permissions and click OK.

CuteFTP is shareware.

I hate shareware. It takes some hours to hack it. Wink

So I prefer free progs. And in plus, FAR is not only a stupid FTP client. It is an advanced File And aRchive manager and it can do really anything you want. It's a 32bit console - fast and effecient. Superpower text editor with multiple charsets and spellchecking. A real all inclusive swiss stainless steel knife Smile
