chmod (Setting File Permissions)

See more FTP Examples

This example assumes your FTP server supports the "chmod" command, which typically means it must be a server running on a Linux or Unix system. The SendCommand method may be called to send arbitrary commands to the FTP server. This example sends a "chmod" command to set the file permissions. B4X

'  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

Dim ftp As ChilkatFtp2

'  Send a chmod command to the FTP server to set
'  the permissions of a file to 0644:
Dim resp As String = ftp.SendCommand("chmod 0644 hamlet.xml")

If ftp.LastMethodSuccess <> True Then
    '  Failed.
    Log(ftp.LastErrorText)
Else
    '  You should write code to examine the response to
    '  the SendCommand.  As an example, the FTP server
    '  used for testing responds with this for success:
    '  200 Permissions changed on hamlet.xml
    Log(resp)
