    File permissions on Windows server

    My host is running on the Windows server ( I wish they had some kind of UNIX animal instead). The problem I have is that I need to change permissions of one file (text file) to something like 777 or 755 (UNIX symbols). Obviously chmod command from my ftp program won't work. So how can I change the permissions of individual file? Is it even possible?

    Thanks

    Um the ftp server itself may have implimented this, but I don't think its an inherent Windows feature.
    And whats wrong with a Windows host ?

    Shell out an attrib command in DOS. That will do it.
