chmod -R recursive flag
Hi,

why can't I use the flag -R recursive ?

ftp> chmod -R a+xwr kickstart
usage: chmod mode remote-file

ftp> chmod a+xwr kickstart
200 SITE CHMOD command successful

thanks

Where implemented at all, the "site chmod" command in a ftp session is not the same as the full unix command and has only basic functionality.

see "man ftpd" on the target system.
