I've never done it through ssh, suppose it might be possible. Anyway
using voiceover shift-command-a to get into applications; then type u for
utilities and hit return. Then type t and see if terminal is highlighted,
if yes hit enter. Once done, hit control-option-downarrow and then
control-option-semicolon to lock voiceover keys on. You should hear a
message from darwin and something about your last logon and get the
terminal prompt. To get out once all is done, type exit <cr> and hit
control-option-semicolon to unlock voiceover keys.

Subject: Re: changing file permissions on back up folder need help urgent
It can be done in terminal mode at a command line prompt: You need to be
one tree level above your backups folder before going into terminal mode.
Commands to do are: chmod -R 600 ./backups/* <cr> then do du -ch ./backups
<cr> and get the size of the folder and contents. If not small enough to
fit on a zip disk and that's what you have, you may need to run tar on it
to archive it and write that archive to a zip disk. Again in terminal
mode. The 600 says make that directory and all contents readable and
writeable and if it has execution permissions take them away from tht
folder and all of its contents. It's the -R watch the case upper this
time to do this recursively on all sfolders and files under backups. hth.
