Hello!

It would be nice if FileZilla is able to recognize and to set the SetUID and the SetGID bits for files and directories.

In version history, you wrote that FileZilla is able to set the Sticky Bit with the file attributes dialog since version 2.2.4. Well, I can't find any option concerning the Sticky Bit in the file attributes dialog and FileZilla is also not able to recognize this bit.

On one hand, this is just nice-to-have, so it is not very urgent to implement this feature. I think it would be OK if you implement it in FileZilla 3.
But on the other hand, the SetGID bit is important on systems, where file access is controlled by groups (SourceForge for example). If the client doesn't recognize this bit, it gets destroyed when changing file permissions.

Just enter the numerical representation into the chmod dialog

Hello botg,

Yes, that is one method. But I think it is more comfortable if there are some checkboxes.
