Server File Properties Dialog Box

Getting there

  1. Start the FTP Client.

    This opens the Connect to FTP Site dialog box. (If the FTP Client is already running and this dialog box is not open, go to Connection > Connect .)

  2. Connect to a site and then select a file or folder in the server pane.

  3. From the File menu, choose Properties .

This dialog box displays information about the currently selected server file or directory. You can also use it to set permissions on a UNIX or Linux server.

Permissions changes you make to directories are not recursive; that is they do not affect the files within the directory.
Attributes Displays the current attributes.
Permission Mode Type a three digit number that is a valid value for the UNIX chmod command. Valid values have digits from 0 to 7.
Owner, Group, and Public Select options to allow each user type permission to read, write, or execute the currently selected item.
