changing permissions
 

anyone know how to do this to 1000's of folders subdirectories and files?

would be great if this is a function in smartftp or filezila anyone know ?

chmod -R

you'd have to have shell acces for that though...

in smart ftp, on the remote explorer window. highlight the parent directory, right click. choose 'permissions' change the permissions to what you want them to be, and then choose that little box at the bottom 'apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files'

its really easy and right in front of your face :)
