CHMOD for Window?

#1 Post by calebrw » 2004-07-07 23:04

What are the CHMOD equivilants to 644 and 666 in Window? Can you use the FileZilla command line to do it? How?

CHMOD is a linux thing. "Normal MS Windows"(98,xp..) don't have this kinda thing.. All files are readable or writeable by all. Files can be flagged read-only and hidden and as sytem files with the attrib command, allthough this is probably not what you're looking for,

At least under NT4/Win2k and newer one can modify file permissions. But that is a very complex task under Windows and it's likely that adding CHMOD support under Windows will cause problems, since under Windows it is possible to prevent anyone, even yourself from viewing a file and even changing its permissions, thus creating (almost) inaccassible files.
