Changing File and Folder Permissions on Remote Sites

You can set who can open, change, or delete files and folders on remote Sites. See also About CHMOD Permissions.

To change permissions for a remote file(s) or folder(s)

  1. Connect to a Site.

  2. Select the file(s) or folder(s) for which you want to change permissions.

  3. On the main menu, click File > Properties.

  4. Select the check boxes next to the permissions you want for yourself (Owner), a Group of users, and the Public.

    • When multiple items are selected, a gray check mark signifies the permission is granted for some files in the group, but not in others. You can still change the permission for the whole group.

    • If you cannot change permissions for a file or folder, the FTP server administrator must modify your account or the file permissions.

  5. Click OK.
