Make FTP folder writeable?

[edro]

A PHP Image gallery wants me to make a folder, but it is giving me an error saying to do this:

chown -R nobody /home/webpage/public_html/albums

or if that doesn't work:
chmod -R 777 /home/webpage/public_html/albums

When I right click on the folder, the CHMOD option is greyed out. I don't think you can do that to folders with SmartFTP.

DOS FTP won't let me do CHMODs either.

Anyone know of a command like FTP or otherwise that will let me CHMOD folders?

THanks!

If your FTP server doesn't allow it, you'll have to log into a shell acount and do it.

I don't think I have shell access... 🙁

Try using another Windows FTP client like WS_FTP or FlashFXP both of those allow me to chmod 777 folders which I have created.

Thanks! FlashFXP works...

Thanks again,
