File Permissions

[Brandon]

Is there an extension for MMF2 that has the ability to change file permissions? I need it for a small project I am working on that acts as an updater for iPhones and iPod Touches, and they both require that file permissions are set to 0755.

The windows file permissions can be set using the CACLS command in the cmd (you can use the pipe object), but I don't think that is the problem in your case. What generates the permission error?

What generates the permission error?

I don't know what you mean, as I'm not getting any errors. I'm simply looking for a way to change the permissions on a file easily. This can be done in programs like WinSCP, which I actually use for my iPhone all the time. The application I am making in MMF2 can communicate with the iPhone, and send and receive files, but they do not work correctly in my application because the file permissions need to be set to 0755 to be compatible with the iPhone.

ah ok its ftp. That means you're probably talking about file permissions on a unix based system. You can use the unix command CHMOD to change permissions but you cant do this on the windows system. Check to see if the FTP object has a CHMOD command - if not you might have to use a php script or run a script on the iPhone itself

have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod

Nope no CHMOD commands on the ftp object and I can't write php for this. Everything works, I can add, delete, and move files around from and to the iPhone wirelessly, but the files I put on don't work because of the file permissions. Is there any feature lying around on any of the current extensions that can achieve this?
