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. JavaScript

var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var ftp = new CkFtp2();

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.cknotes.com";
ftp.Username = "myLogin";
ftp.Password = "myPassword";

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect();
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Send a chmod command to the FTP server to set
// the permissions of a file to 0644:
var resp = ftp.SendCommand("chmod 0644 hamlet.xml");

if (ftp.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    // Failed.
    console.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
    console.log(resp);
}
