Chmod 777/chmod 666 definitions for Transmit FTP

[rsorbo]

Hi:

First off, just what I've been looking for! Great job!
Finally a script that handles IPTC meta data!
Now for my issue...?
I know these are folder/file permissions but what is the meanings for each one.
I'm using Transmit for the FTP'n and it's permission dialog is different.
I've got Owner, Group, World. What needs to be checked for Read, Write and Execute?
For the Templates is there a quick way to batch permission all these files?
Thanks in advance.

All of them.

If you mean file permissions, you'll need to consult your FTP documentation.

rsorbo, if I got your question right you are asking what "CHMOD 666" means, right?

CHMOD 666 is the octal writing of allowing everyone (owner, group, world in Transmit terms) read and write access to that file (or folder).

CHMOD 777 is the octal for allowing everyone everything: read, write, execute (what this means for a folder I think you've to consult a *nix documentation )

Regarding batch mode Transmit v. 2.1 sort of enables that: select all your files you want to change (all these files have to be in one folder) and hit command-i - a "change permissions" window that is used for all hightlighted files opens.

HTH,
