ftp lib and setting unix permissions

[Andre Garzia]

Frank,

I just implemented that for FTPCommander stack. You'll have to use 
plain ftp commands, the trick is, since you created the folder/file, 
you probably have a variable with it's path. Do a

libURLFtpCommand("SITE CHMOD" && theNewPermission && 
theAbsoluteFilePath)

this will set the permission, the result should be like "200 ok file 
permissions set"
you can check the http://www.soapdog.org/rev/FTPCommander.rev and check 
the script for the "Perms" button.

Cheers
andre
