Question/Problem: How can I send CHMOD commands in version 8.0? Answer/Solution: Version 8 moved the CHMOD functions to the Properties area. You can right-click on the file, choose Properties. This change was made to give users the ability to change permissions on multiple files/folders at once. Note: CHMOD -- the functionality to
change permissions using a numeric Permissions can also be expressed as three- or four-digit
values; * The first digit is interpreted as follows: o If the first digit is 1 (known in UNIX circles as the "sticky bit"), it sets the link permission to directories or sets the "save-text" attribute for a file. o If the first digit is 2, it sets the group ID on execution. o If the first digit is 4, it sets the user ID on execution. * The second digit expresses Owner permissions:
* The third, Group permissions:
* The fourth, Other. Four-digit values are used in the WS_FTP Pro log, in the message area, and by some
system administrators and ISPs. The table below shows how WS_FTP Pro check box options
correspond to the last three digits. The third column shows the possible values for
Owner, Group, and Other as viewed in the ten-position value in the first column of a
directory list for a UNIX site. For example, the value 751 corresponds to drwxr-x--x in the
directory list. |
