How do you set the file permissions on a file that you've transfered? Files end up "640" after FTP.Put. I want them to be "666".

Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, This is a bit odd but it's working on my system (HP9000 HPUX ver11.0)

Use ftp.put to put the file on the box

Login into the box using

FTP.login sever, userID, Password

FTP.Command "CWD {directory}", ResStr

ftp.Command "SITE CHMOD 666 {filename}", ResStr

FTP.Logout

Like I said this works for me, I'm not sure if this will work on every box. The commands came from the man pages on ftpd on the box. I'm not sure if they are standard.

Hi James,
The same can be accomplished by setting the Ftp.Directory property, and calling the Ftp.Site method.

As I continue to dig into this control, I find more and more stuff :o)

After I had muddled through the "Command" solution, I found the "Site" method in the help file. I was still using "Command" to change directories, thanks for the tip, I'll change that as well.

Thanks for responding!
