Subject:   How does one allow changing of file modes from an FTP client ?

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.
