File Attributes Tab (Options Dialog Box)

Getting there

From the FTP Client Tools menu, choose Options .

Use this tab to configure default attributes for file transfers.

Set default file attributes on uploads

Set default permissions for files copied to the server. When Set default file attributes on uploads is selected, you can specify permissions using either the Permission Mode box, or using the Owner, Group, and Public check boxes.

NOTE:

To specify non-default permissions during a file transfer, you can configure Site Properties > Transfer > Show upload options before transfer.

When this setting is enabled, the File Upload Options dialog box is displayed before you transfer files to the server.
When Set default file attributes on uploads is selected, the client sends a chmod command to the server to set the permissions you have specified. If your server does not support this command, you will receive a server error message that the chmod command is unrecognized.

Set default file attributes on downloads

Set default attributes for files copied to the client. When Set default file attributes on downloads is selected, you can specify attributes using the Read-only and/or Hidden check boxes.

NOTE: To specify non-default permissions during a file transfer, you can configure Site Properties > Transfer > Show download options before transfer. When this setting is enabled, the File Download Options dialog box is displayed before you transfer files to the client.
