I feel this bug is being under-estimated. Yes, you could argue that the 'average user' (if such a thing exists) such doesn't care about permissions... Then again, the 'average user' (sorry, but I hate that phrase) wouldn't be using FTP in the first place.
I feel that anyone who is using FTP will certinally care about what permissions the files will have. I do strongly feel this is a very important bug which must be fixed before Dapper comes out. Permissions are an essential part of FTP, much like copy and paste on the desktop; not everyone will use it, but it looks silly if it can't be used. -- Nautilus as FTP has no CHMOD ability https://launchpad.net/bugs/19248 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
