Heloo there...I was wondering if there is anyone to help me with this question. As you can read also in the Subject of this thread: How to Set permissions: e.g chmod 755 on FTP Program????

Sorry for this newbie question

I use CuteFTP for uploading files and now i'm learning to install the cgi and php scripts but the problem is to upload the files with the chmod.... So can anybody help me with this question? Does any particular FTP Program is needed to do this???

I think any FTP prog can chmod. After uploading highlight the files on the server and right click... or choose the edit menu... somewhere in the you will find the chmod command and it should be obvious from there.

Yep, right-click in CuteFTP and select Chmod. The thing is that these permsissions can only be set on the server, since *nix uses a different permissions system than Windows. So you don't upload the files with the permissions, you upload them and *then* chmod them on the remote server.
