How to change file permissions..

A lot of time i use FTP to upload my files on server and mostly i use that FTP client that comes with Windows OS.I want to know is there any way to change file permissions through this client,i.e "chmod" and if i upload my files through this client how to change permissions on them...
....Similar problem occurs when i upload files through web browser ,i.e..using---ftp://site.com---how to change their permissions....
...Somebody told me that instead of changing file permissions in Unix environment use
--------File>Properties>Read Only----option in windows environment and they will work the same way...
I want to know if it is true????:confused: :confused:
 
Hi nag!

If you are talking about Windows' ftp.exe the syntax is

quote site chmod 755 file.pl

Change 755 and file.pl to what you've got. ;)
Dunno, but I hardly think you can set permissions with IE.
