Recursive CHMOD in FTP, setting properties on folders only

Help & Support
1

Hi.

I am looking for a tool that is able to set CHMOD properties on my website.
I need to set all folders to CHMOD 755, and all files to 654.

Is it possible to do something like that in Dir Opus, or do you know of any tool that can do recursive CHMOD on foldes only and CHMOD on files only.

Thanks.

There are a few different ways you can do it as well.

If it's something you'll do repeatedly you should be able to create a button you can press after connecting to the site which does everything automatically. (Ask in the forum if you need help creating such a button.)

If it's just a one-off job then there are a few ways to tackle it but the one I would use would be to put the lister into "Flat View (Mixed)" mode, where it shows all files and folders below the current point. (This works on FTP sites as well as local drives.) You can then select all the folders using the Set Attributes command, then select all the files and do the same.

You can also use the Properties dialog, when on FTP sites, to set the permissions of individual files, as shown below. The Set Attributes command is the one to use for multiple files, though.
