ftp using command line

[mrsbean]

I am attempting to set the permissions for a remote folder (the folder and all subfolders and files) to writable. I have Windows XP. The remote server is Linux. I was able to make an ftp connection using command lines. Is there a command(s) I can use with this method to set permissions?

I know this isn't much a Windows XP question as much as a DOS question, but there didn't seem to be a place to put that.

I think you should log on in the Linux system and use chmod. To log on, you can use telnet or ssh(Putty us a nice application for this).

Cheers,

Diancecht is right!

You can't do this using ftp!

You have to login using telnet (or ssh or rsh) and issue the chmod command

chmod -R +w /parent_folder
