FTP programs, Question and Recomendations.
 

I have been and am currently using CuteFTP pro. I been needing to set a lot of directory and file permissions to 777 as of late. The only way I have found to do this using CuteFTP pro is to go inside of each directory, select all of the files, chmod them 777, back out of the directory and chmod it 777. Is there some way to just select the directories you wish chmoded to 777 and it will chmod them as well as all contents and sub directories to the same permissions?

Also can anyone recomend an ftp program that will allow you to change directory permissions, plus all files and subfolders in that directory to the same permission setting with just a select and chmod command without having to enter the directories themselves and do the files and sub directories independantly?

Yes I wish to do this via ftp and not within the server itself. I break things to often so ftp is my saftey net.

smart ftp does this... i used to use cuteftp.. but switched

Thanks, will go take a look at it now.

FlashFXP does what you need. I just check the box (include all subdirectories and files) and away you go, wheeeeeeeeeeee......... :)

I use SmartFTP too - CuteFTP was getting to complicated for such things :)

WS_FTP Pro does this. :thumbsup

I was considering checking out ws_ftp - can you ssh with it? I've been using winscp lately because the putty box is so easy to click if I need it :P

Thanks a great deal headless. That works perfectly.
Now I will just need to get used to using this program.
