(Xojo Plugin) 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.

Dim ftp As New Chilkat.Ftp2

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.cknotes.com"
ftp.Username = "myLogin"

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
Dim success As Boolean
success = ftp.Connect()
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(ftp.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// 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")

If (ftp.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    // Failed.
    System.DebugLog(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
    System.DebugLog(resp)
End If

success = ftp.Disconnect()
