Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I remember WSFTP client (for Windows) let me change the mode of files (eg. to make CGI scripts executable) without using telnet. How does this work since I can't seem to find an FTP command that allows this ? (Is it really just telnetting in the background ?) We have telnet disabled on our router yet host websites for a few partners who now wish to edit their own CGI scripts. The problem is making the scripts executable without telnet access. Any ideas ? (other than enabling telnet on the router - i have paranoid bosses) Thanks indeed. chas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message
