Have a server 2003 running back home with our website running. Out of town for the holidays, and I wanted to finish up some web things I have been working on. (Sadly yes I perfer to do this then visit with the inlaws all day) I have full administrator access to the server, but (always a but) I do not turn on remote desktop, unless I know for sure I am going to be using it. Didn't turn it on before I left. Not a problem, so I thought. I am uploading via ftp the files for the web site, and unfortunaley the php files need some permision changes. Is there a command to do this through ftp. Tried "quote site attrib" but I get the following "500 'SITE attrib': command not understood". Any help would be greatly appreciated. If i can't get this up and running, I will have no more excuses to keep out of sears with the inlaws.
 
I've seen the quote command work for AS400's but not Windows. I would welcome the absence from the inlaws and go turn RDP on.
 
As far as I know you cannot run executables through an FTP session (internal commands don't count). Do you only have access to your sever via port 80 and 21? Is your web server NATed behind a public IP or directly connected to a public IP?
There are many ways you can execute your change depending on how secure your enviornment is.
 
I mean this is bordering on hacking. I would not try and post a work around to modifying permissions within the FTP protocol.
