Dreamweaver 8 Permissions CHMOD

[Castles]

Hi, I have been trying to set remote permissions in dreamweaver 8.

For MX2004 I was using the JLindon extension and worked a treat. This
extension does not work with 8. I did have it working strangely enough.. when I
upgraded from MX2004. But now that I did a clean install of 8 its not.

I read somewhere that setting permissions on files is available in 8 but I
can't seem to find it anywhere. When I right click on a file I don't get any
permission options and there isn't any reference to it in the dreamweaver help.

Thanks,

Marc

I have the same Problem. I cannot find anything about setting permissions in
dreamweaver 8. The very good extension of JLondon does not work eather. What's
wrong - where to find?

Thank you so much for any hints

Maximize the files window (Dateien-Fenster), right click onto the file you
want to set permission in the Remote server section, then chose "Set
permission".

Hi Jolantha,
thanks for reply. It sounds great. But there is no posibility to set "file
permissions" in dreamweaver 8.0 german version. To be shure of that, I have
deinstalled dreamweaver completely, even the "user preferences" and have made a
fresh installation. But no change. :disgust; May be a bug??

Hallo Ulrich,

Well, I do use DW 8 German too, the Set permission feature works without
any problems! Don't forget, it only works if your ISP & the remote server
do support set permission through FTP!

Oh - really...
With the help of menus.xml I found it at last. It was vanished after trying to
install the extension for Dreamweaver 7.01.

<menubar id="DWRemoteSiteFilesContext">
<menu name="Site Files Popup" id="DWContext_RemoteSite">
[ ... ]
<menuitem name="Auf lokaler Site lokalisiere_n" arguments="'findlocal','site'"
file="Menus/MM/Site_File.htm" id="DWContext_RemoteSite_FindLocal" />
:D <menuitem name="Berechtigungen festlegen..."
file="Menus/MM/Accessprops.htm" id="DWContext_RemoteSite_SetPermissions" /> :D
<separator />
<menu name="Vorschau in _Browser" id="DWContext_RemoteSite_PIB">

Sorry for making so much noise... Thanks for your help.

Thanks to TMM. This was bugging me and I was hoping that DMW8 would include this.

:confused;
ok
I have tried this also. At work, my DWMX8 works with this extension. At home
the extension does not work. Same install. Same MX8. Do you have any tips on
setting permissions? The error is that "this extension only works with 7.0.1
....yada yada.
Again, it works on the work mac, not on my home mac.

In Dreamweaver 8 there is no need for an extension to set file permission!! If
you have tried to install the JLindon extension you may have lost the original
menu entry.
Here you can find the menu: ... Macromedia/Dreamweaver
8/Configuration/Menus/menus.xml

Just have a look here: <menubar id="DWRemoteSiteFilesContext"> [..]
<menuitem name="_Entsperren" arguments="'unlock','site'"
file="Menus/MM/Site_File.htm" platform="mac" id="DWContext_RemoteSite_Unlock" />
<menuitem name="Auf lokaler Site lokalisiere_n"
arguments="'findlocal','site'" file="Menus/MM/Site_File.htm"
id="DWContext_RemoteSite_FindLocal" />
<menuitem name="Berechtigungen festlegen..."
file="Menus/MM/Accessprops.htm" id="DWContext_RemoteSite_SetPermissions" />
<separator />

You see: id="DWContext_RemoteSite_SetPermissions"

Don't mention the german words, the id's of the menuitems are "international".

If there is no more "DWContext_RemoteSite_SetPermissions" in the menu, you
have to replace this menus.xml with the unchanged, original one.

At Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/Configuration/Menus/MM you can find the
SetPermissions window: AccessProps.htm and the script: AccessProps.js. It is
packed by without an extension.

Maybe that helps
