Hello everyone. I have a script where I am using FTP functions to chmod
files/folders. I'm running into a problem with the ftp_chmod() function
when trying to change the permissions of a directory. Here is the code I'm
using:

ftp_chmod($connId, 0777, $folder);

The function almost works, but when I check the permission of the folder
after it's run, the folder has 410 for permissions instead of 777. So, it
is changing the permissions, but not to the correct value. Now when I use
the following code, it seems to work fine:

$chmodCmd = "CHMOD 0777 ".$file;
ftp_site($connId, $chmodCmd);

This properly changes the folder permissions to 777. Does anyone know why
the ftp_chmod() function doesn't work correctly? As a side note, the
ftp_chmod() function works correctly on a file, but not a directory. Any
help is appreciated.

Thanks,
