chmod recursively via FTP

[sagemaniac]

Hello there,

when using FTP Connect, Change Attributes loses the Recurse subdirectories option.

Is there another way to chmod files and folders recusively?

I have FTP only access to a cheap-hoster linux-box and need to chmod -R 666 some 1200 *.dat *.lock *.dat.bak files in 67 subdirectories.

So far I have used Aldos Macro Recorder and TC to do the job.
Still had to select some folders manually though.

Thanks,

Maybe it could work trough a SITE command, which, if the server supports it, sends the command as a normal command line command, like "SITE chmod 744 abc"...

Quick answer, thanks!

Does not work on this server.
Send Command tells me:

SITE chmod -R 777 *.dat
550 777 *.dat: No such file or directory

I tried all sorts of combinations - even named one file...

It seems the server will not accept neither the -R nor wildcards such as * within the SITE chmod command...

I guess find and pipes don't work...?

Mmm, then I am out of ideas, sorry. Maybe using another FTP client.
