I needed to change file permissions and was not able to change them as the connection was not a sucure one.
Because of this I downloaded PuTTY and changed them with an SSH login. I tried logging in with Filezilla with the SSH credentials but it would not connect.
When I checked the files and directories that I had changed permissions on, they still said 700, which is the default setting.
1. Why can't I connect with SSH using Filezilla?
2. Why does the file permissions still show the default permissions?

Re: File Permissions
1. Because FileZilla does not support SSH nor the full SSH2, only SFTP (over the SSH2 protocol). So, that server would need to support SSH2 and have the SFTP subsystem enabled. Note that the original SSH protocol and SCP are not supported at all. Rule of thumb: If you can connect with PuTTY's psftp tool, you should be able to connect using FileZilla.
2. How did you check? The figures shown over FTP or SFTP connections are often bogus/dummy ones. If you re-checked over the shell, you might not have permissions to change them, or you are overridden by some kind of local server policy.

Re: File Permissions
Thanks!
I eventually used Putty in command window.
Putty was new to me but after researching the commands and getting used to the interface I was able to set the permissions.
