Hey everyone,

I was just wondering, is there a way to fix the write permissions in finder to be able to put files somewhere using ftp?

If not, does anyone know any good ftp clients?

You can fix permissions with Terminal. It's located in /Applications/Utilities/

Im in your Terminalz, chowning your files.

Sorry, the only chmodding i've ever done was with check boxes

What would i put into terminal?

Thanks

man chmod
man chown

PS. I dont have a macbook n00b.

Use Cyberduck, or Fetch, or Fugu, or something.

I use cyberduck and till now it worked flawlessly.

Then use FileZilla. Granted, it doesn't look like a Mac app, but it works.

Instant chmod tutorial.

Read = 4
Write = 2
Execute = 1

Add the numbers to get what you want. Read and write is 4+2, or 6. Read, write, execute is 4+2+1 or 7

Then remember that the permission order is Owner, Group, World. Give each one the number corresponding to the access you want them to have.

So the simple command could be:

chmod 755 filename

Which equates to "give Owner read, write, execute, and the Group and World read and execute only". Note that you need to be able to read a file to execute it. Entering zero means no access. Once you've learned this it makes for a very quick and easy permission change.

So using that command, is there any way to ftp using the connect to server command in finder?
