(Lianja) chmod (Setting File Permissions)

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.

// Send a chmod command to the FTP server to set
// the permissions of a file to 0644:
lcResp = loFtp.SendCommand("chmod 0644 hamlet.xml")

    // Failed.

    // 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
