I changed the name of your DB and path in your comments. Access is not a secure database and can easily be downloaded by anyone who knows where to find it on your server.

I don’t work with Microsoft servers, but the problem you are having with FileZilla is that CHMOD is a UNIX/Linux command that does not work with a Microsoft server.

Perhaps someone knows of an FTP utility that can set permissions with a Microsoft server. FirleZilla will not resolve your issue.

Set permissions of ‘/**path deleted by admin**/test.mdb’ to ’647′
Command: SITE CHMOD 647 test.mdb
Response: 500 ‘SITE CHMOD 647 test.mdb’: command not understood

Site is hosted on Windows server and is ASP based with Access DB.
Site has an Admin section (CMS) written with ASP code and scripts that:
Add, edits and deletes data to DB
Upload and Deletes files such as images or documents to the site.

After uploading a site to my Host, I always need to change RWE permissions to get the ASP site to work. Specifically for the DB file and any folder where images or docs will be uploaded/deleted.

This usually means contacting the Server Host so that they can change the RWE permissions or if the client has a Control Panel function for the Host site -to do it manually.

So my question is can FileZilla or any other FTP software actually change this permissions, even if I log-in to the FTP server with the right credentials (not just anonymously)?

2. Download the files in root/a/b/c to your PC

3. Upload the files to root/a

I don’t know of a way to do that. FileZilla is a file transfer utility, not a backup utility. A backup utility will clear the archive bit on a file when it makes a backup. When the file is changed, the bit is set again, so it is easy to detect for incremental backups.

It might be possible to do this from a command line, but it looks like the command line was removed in FireZilla 3.x.

This would be a nice feature. Does anyone know how to do this?

Can this be done?

I had to dig to find out where the codes originated, but there isn’t very much info. It appears that it may be related to the type of FTP daemon used on your server. Personally, I would also like to see the name of the owner and group, rather than a code, but it doesn’t look like it is something that you can configure in FireZilla. Even if you could change the display, you cannot change file ownerships with an FTP utility.

Thanks

The easiest way to do this is to transfer the files to your PC from the first server and then transfer them to the new server. If you are moving to a different server, you will also have to transfer the database.

Be aware that you may have some configuration issues in your blog. You may need to set the new default URL before you backup and transfer the database.
