Change Attributes
Allows you to change access rights (attributes) on Unix FTP servers.
Options
- Owner: Read, Write, Execute (Access)
Group: Read, Write, Execute (Access)
Others: Read, Write, Execute (Access) - Specify new access rights for owner, group, and others. When checked, the right will be set. When cleared, the right will be cleared. When the check box is in third state, the right will be preserved (it will stay as is).
- Numeric value
- You can also set access rights using their octal representation. The first digit is for owner rights, the second for group rights, and the third for others' rights. The values are as follows: 1 = Execute (Access), 2 = Write, 4 = Read. Use the '-' character to preserve all rights (e.g. "6-0" means read and write for the owner, preserve group rights, and no rights for others). Note: it is not possible to preserve only some rights (e.g. only read for the owner) in this way.
- Include subdirectories
- When checked, it will process also files and directories in selected subdirectories. Otherwise it will process only selected subdirectories (without content).
- Change attributes of files
- When checked, selected files (and also files in subdirectories if Include subdirectories is checked) will be processed. Otherwise it will skip all files.
- Change attributes of directories
- When checked, selected directories (and also directories in subdirectories if Include subdirectories is checked) will be processed. Otherwise it will skip all directories.
