Is there a FTP software that can help me CHMOD every file in a directory and its sub-directories?
Example:
If I CHMOD the "content" directory, the program will help me CHMOD all the files in the "content" dir, and all the files in "content" dir's sub-directories.

No software will be quite like the Unix/Telnet interface--that I have seen. [Like.. you can't say CHMOD 755 data.cgi.]
However, http://www.cuteftp.com (Cute FTP) allows you to CHMOD files by going to Commands>File Actions>CHMOD, or by hitting Ctrl+Shft+A.
I haven't tried it on any directories but I am sure that it will do them.
If not, grab some ramen and get ready to CHMOD.
Hope that helps.

If you are using CuteFTP or WS_FTP then you are able to do a multi select.
Simply select all files in the direcoty, and right click. then click on the appropriete option to CHMOD. Do this to all files and directories.
If you have a mulitple direcoty tree (many direcories in mayn directories) that needs to be CHMODed, you may want to right a PERL dcript to do it.

Everyone here has a website. It's just that not all are worth posting (Mine!
).

You might try to do this with command-line ftp:
-Open a MS-DOS-Prompt
- type: ftp
- Login
- use cd to go to the directory you need
- chmod with: !chmod -R 777 * or whatever you want to do
I don't know if it works properly with the Windows-ftp program though...(
later

WS_FTP is my favorite software. It's simple and it works.

I agree. My favorite also. I used FTP Exlorer before that, but it didn't allow me to CHMOD files.

AceFTP is really good, I love it.
You really need to try it.
