Error: parameter is incorrect

when trying to change a cgi file's properties to 755. I gave up and used webshell without any problem.

Looks like a problem!?

Here what I got from them:
220 ProFTPD 1.2.9 Server (Main FTP Server)

In fact, it looks like that coreFTP chmod is useless for me at this time.
I have to use provider's WebShell3 to chmod - this works flawless.

They ask me to use Filezilla - maybe it helps u to fix my problem?!
Edit: Just tried Filezilla and it works brilliant

Sounds like it's time for a patch..

Done this - ERROR: no such file or directory

SITE CHMOD 777 %1

Played around abit - this works as custom command:

SITE CHMOD 755 FormMail.cgi

looks like the %1 is the problem!

Bump - edited message above!

I know %1 is a substitute for the file name

where's the log?
I only see an install.log in the dir

I guess u mean the log in the top frame?
It says:
550 %1: No such file or directory

obviously it sees %1 as filename itself?

What text is in the custom command you entered??
(should be: SITE CHMOD 777 %1)

Also remember you have to have a file selected in order for Core FTP to know which file to set the permissions on (right click on the filename, select custom commands, then the command you wish).

We really do not need to go over it again and again - I am not that dumb

Be assured the file IS selected when I right-click it for a custom command.

Hmm, looks like I found the problem - the file itself!
I overwrote it with the original one and problem seems gone.

It does not explain why Filezilla saw no problems as well as UserShell3 worked fine changing file's access properties.

Definitely something fishy going on with CoreFTP..
