I was told by my friend that it is actually possible. Your FTP server
would have to be configured to be allowed to accept SITE CHMOD command
(WUFPTD may have QUOTE command). The configuration of server varries, so
you are probably on your own. Try to look here:
http://www.glftpd.com/docs/glftpd.docs
http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/docs/directives/configuration_full.html#ALLOWCHMOD
for two known ftp servers. Search for "chmod" string.
Anyway, I tried to 'open ftp connection only and then use something like
INSERT serv "SITE" but Rebol told me that 'insert can't be used with
such type of port ... so I think it may be possible to chmod files but
it would have to be supported directly by ftp scheme ... but I can be
wrong ...
