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

    ' Failed.
    Debug.Print 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
    Debug.Print resp
End If
