[REBOL] Re: ftp chmod!!

hi Pekr,

it is, I was able to change it with smartFtp :-)

[...] I think too, Gabrielle suggested it might be done with set-modes get-modes, but would have to be patched in the ftp scheme itself... Since rebol's ftp doesn't seem to overwrite the chmod data once its been set, I'm already less anxious about the problem, its not as if I had to call chmod everytime I did a slight modif or test (as is the case when saving files on disk). To have a definite answer, we'd have to delve deeper into the scheme's code ... in normal times, I'd have fun trying that, but since I'm straining every ounce of time I have to get steel tools downloadable, I really don't have time, right now... If anyone does poke around, please report your findings to the list :-) Thanks to everyone for the help and comments. -MAx
