ftp, set file permissions

[jassing]

is there a way to set (via FTP) a file's permissions (ie: 0644)

Doesn't seem so. You can get the attributes with FTPDirectoryEntryAttributes(), but not set them. Yet another enhancement we can hope for when the FTP lib gets updated.
There's a request about it from 2008 https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=254202

Thanks Quin... If there's a request from 16 years ago, I don't think I'll hold on to hope.

You can use my libcurl.pbi and use #CURLOPT_QUOTE with "chmod 644 file"

Thanks! I'll have a go with that.
cheers!
