Hi all

What linux program is best for setting the permission via ftp

I'm loading an auction script to my SME server and for some reason the gftp does not allow me to change the permissions.

Please advise on a solution for this.

I do have remote ftp access and local ftp access to my server.

Thanks

It is not included and it is not in repositories either.

You can download it from sourceforge

I'll have to try this out, I found in the repository list, and it installed and appears to work, however isn't there a gui interface for this, or only konsole version ?

It is only a console version. However it is easy to use.
Log in to server " yafc server.com" and type help, you get all commands that are available. Get is for downloading and put for uploading,
get -r for downloading directories and put -r for uploading directories.
You also need to cd to directory from which you want to upload stuff
and start yafc there also it will download to the same directory where you started yafc.
Use tab for file completion.
Yafc has a lot useful commands available for changing permissions and for creating or removing files and directories.

If you click the remote button at the top you'll find chmod .. local is your hard disk, remote is your server Eye-wink

Thanks

You're welcome ... there is great help in a console type
" man gftp " or the author's web site http://www.gftp.org

Thanks, I've been using the gftp for uploading my files and the interface is excellent, but have not had success for chmod

I get permission denied when trying to chmod

I would love to get this working as it's seems to be a nice gui and ftp uploads seem to work very nice.

Are there any other settings I must configure in the options section for this to work properly? and/or does SME allow the gftp to chmod

Please advise
Thanks

FireFTP or Konqueror

Konq is really the best FTP gui I've ever used. FireFTP (Firefox extension) is pretty darned good, too, now (used to be buggy).

Have you tried in ftp button | options | Use manual command ? Wondering if you could chmod in that line?

I don't have this problem with my server, as I only need to right click the file/folder on my server and a dropdown allows chmod. I realize not all servers allow that though. Have you tried that?

I don't have any clues about SME or where it is hosted, or much about it, except seeing the infomercials on the late night wasteland.

I had a lot of difficulty with gFTP not connecting at all, so I read 'man ftp' and used ftp instead.

I've tried a few things to change permisions on my webserver and ftp server, but it seems that no matter which program I use I get permission denied
I can upload and download and make directories etc. but can't change permissions

Any ideas

Hi, found this tidbit on the SME Server FAQs wiki...

Why isn't chmod authorized via ftp?

Ftp 'chmod' is prohibited by design for security reasons. It's up to the administrator to define the execution rights of any script able to run on the server. To authorize 'chmod' via ftp would be like authorizing the users to make such modifications and it's a safety risk.

I enabled ssh in the server-manager and now can login with gftp as ssh2, and also as root, and I can use gftp as a grafical interface to make directories and chmod permissions etc.

Works perfectly

Thanks all
