Outstanding, great work Andu! ... I am using FTP from MC every day now (2.3.2) and will upgrade to 2.4 soon. Meanwhile I figured out the permissions thing by using a monitor log to see that an FTP client simply writes to the socket: SITE CHMOD 755 /public_html/cgi-bin/build_lessons.mt (in this case, specifically to make cgi's executable with rwx r-x r-x) So, in Andu's MC FTP script, after the sendData handler is done, it seemed obvious to add this: write "SITE CHMOD 755 " & iPath & crlf to socket Q read from socket Q for 1 line #for confirmation put cr & it before fld "log" just before writing QUIT to the socket... Bingo, it worked like charm. Now, of course this means I have to manually change the script for any different kinds of permissions (don't know any others are needed for .mt scripts...) So, if you were able to incorporate permissions into the new 2.4 routines that would be great (or maybe you have already) This is allows one to use an MC interface to manage .mt scripts (and bourne shell scripts also), upload, set permissions, trigger with "get" and put the results into a field... all with just the click of a button. saying good bye to FTP clients and browsers for the cgi development process and it is saving a LOT of time. Of course, one can modify the LibURL oneself too, but then, that would globally set permissions for all FTP uploads... so, ideally it would be a separate handler all together, that you would call after you completed the upload, something like: > put <data> into url Y uploads files set permissions url Y to "755" where the set permissions url Y part was handled by the LibURL "engine" One option at least...
