Syntax:	FTPCHMOD	[ file name ] [ permissions ]
Arguments:	[ file name ]	Variable or string defining the file name(s) on the FTP site. Wildcards are allowed.
	[ permissions ]	Variable or string defining a POSIX-compatible permissions string to be applied to the remote file. Octal permissions such as "644", additive permissions such as "+rw", subtractive permissions such as "-x", and even grouped permissions like "u=rwx,g-w,o-x" are all supported.
Options:	/incldirs	Apply the given permissions recursively.
	/target=xx	Apply permissions to (1) files only (/target=files); (2) directories only (/target=dirs); or (3) both files and directories (/target=both). "both" is the default.

This command is only valid when connecting to an SFTP site.

This script command is used to apply a set of standard POSIX-compatible permissions to remote file(s) on an SFTP site.

Examples:

FTPCHMOD "myfiles.txt" "644"

FTPCHMOD "dir/*" "u+x" /incldirs

FTPCHMOD "dir/*" "u=rwx,g-w,o-x"

FTPCHMOD "dir/*" "644" /target=files /incldirs

FTPCHMOD "dir/*" "755" /target=dirs /incldirs

Note: the POSIX "X" (special execute) chmod permission value is not supported by this command but similar functionality can be achieved by using /target= to apply the permissions to only files or only directories. This should not be confused with the lowercase "x" (execute) which is fully supported by this command.
