Possibly, using Midnight Commander, you can change permissions of the whole
directory... but this might be too easy. ;-) Seriously, open up a terminal
window (under X) or just change to a standard terminal window and (as root)
start up Midnight Commander (mc) and go to the main FTP root directory and
select the "incoming" directory and then press your F9 key for the pull-down
menus, then move over to the "file" and select "cHmod" (or click on "file" with
your mouse <G>) From there, I think you can figure it out... :-)
Hope this helps...
