chmod

[hvanleeuwen]

I could be wrong but did the latest update (3.0.7) break the chmod option? at least it doesnt work for iis, and i thought it did in the previous version ??

Sorry to post this here but i got a blanc page instead of the bug tracker page.

If by 'IIS' you mean the Windows thing, I'm almost certain that Windows servers don't support CHMOD (it's a *NIX command) or only very limited.

Look at the logs: What's the server's response to the SITE CHMOD command?

yep I do indeed mean the windows thing I work mostly with nix servers but also cater some IIS servers, both of course have filepermission options. IIS has something equal to nix and I thought Filezilla supported both.

After updating to 3.0.7. I noticed I couldn't change filepermissions on an IIS server so I wondered if I remembered wrong or that the new 3.0.7 doesnt support IIS 'chmod' anymore.

I am having this issue as well.

To answer your question, this is how the log looks like for the CHMOD command...

Code: Select all

SITE CHMOD 777 deals
Response:	550 CHMOD 777 deals: Operation not permitted

I will attempt another ftp client to see if in fact, it is a problem with the client or if it is something in the server.... but I am thinking (after reading this thread) that there may be an issue with filezilla...

In your case, the server simply does not allow setting permissions. This is either prohibited as a whole, or just partially (namely self-elevation of rights*).

*777 means fully readable/writable by all, including public. You might not be allowed to set such an insecure access level.
