that looks like a good program, but i went to download it for windows and when i try to access the windows folder, it says "directory not found" so i can't try it out, know of another place i could get a windows version
EDIT: nevermind, i found it it was under binaries

Do the users have the ability to change it back for themselves? I'm just nervious about FTP, I had my FTP hacked once and filled with garbage. Not on my website, but on my home computer. Who knows how they found me, it wasn't anyone I knew.

More recent developments in paper-based technology include improved `write-once' update devices which use tiny rolling heads similar to mouse balls to deposit colored pigment. All these devices require an operator skilled at so-called 'handwriting' technique."

If the uid that people use to login is the same uid that owns the files you chmod'd, then they can chmod them back assuming your ftp server allows/implements it (which most do) and they have a decent client. Standard Windows CLI 'ftp' doesn't support chmod'ing but graphical clients like FileZilla do.
In addition, every *nix FTP client I have used be it graphical or CLI has supported chmoding either through 'chmod' directly or a 'site' command like 'site chmod'.
From a command line client, you can usually see what types of extra commands the FTP server supports by accessing the remote help mechanism. This is usually via a command like 'rhelp' or 'remotehelp'.

The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change.

nope they cant change it.... i set the main folder to 500 from my main account which has access to /public_html/ and /public_ftp/ . As i set the permisson of the folder to 500 the users who login with other can only download stuff and cant edit anything. i even tried myself from that account. I tried chmod the files inside and it does allow it but when u try to do something to a file.. an error message comes up.
