FileZilla Forums

Is there a way to configure FileZilla to automatically upload folders with permissions of 755 and files with permissions of 644? Right now it's uploading folders with 775 and files with 664 and with thousands of files and folders it's very time consuming to manually change the permissions.

Also, how can I configure FileZilla to show the permissions as a number like 755 instead of letters like "drwxr-xr-x"?

Unfortunately not possible. Permissions have to be set after that transfer is complete. That is, if the server even supports that (it actually doesn't have to).

No, it doesn't. Actually, it does not care about permissions at all. The permissions you mentioned are applied by the server (UMASK and/or inheritance).

You can't, it's displayed how the server sends it. Completely ignored by FileZilla for any purpose, not guaranteed to be meaningful nor accurate). Please note that neither FTP nor SFTP have any features dealing with permissions. CHMOD is a custom SITE command.

Ok, I guess it's not FileZilla related but do you by chance know how to configure the default file and folder permissions through WHM or C-Panel? And how to display it as a number instead of letters?
