Matthias, First thing is that your not looking at files when you ftp into Zope, your looking at objects. Secondly Zope uses it's own permissions/security system, that is far more comprehensive than *nix permissions. I really rather doubt that you can set permissions on Zope using a 'simple' chmod. Basically I'm saying that to change permisions for Zope objects, you need to use the TTW (through the web) managment interface. hth Phil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthias Füsting" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2001 4:40 PM Subject: [Zope] Change Permissions via FTP > Hi, > > is there any possibility to change permissions of files via ZOPE-FTP? > Every time I try this with the command "chmod", I get following error message: > > 500 'SITE': command not understood. > > > What is the problem? > > > > Thanks. > > Matthias Füsting > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** > (Related lists - > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
