[Feature Request] Set File Permissions #523

Open alanmilinovic opened 2 years ago

alanmilinovic commented 2 years ago

When selecting a specific file or folder, would it be possible to allow changing the file permissions?

The equivalent to running commands like "chmod" and "chown".

Thanks!

How do you think this could work considering these concept only exist in FTP, FTPS and SFTP which is 1 small part of what Filestash supports ?

alanmilinovic commented 2 years ago

Why not to partially cover it for FTP, FTPS and SFTP?

mickael-kerjean commented 2 years ago

2 things:

  1. Filestash doesn't care about FTP, FTPS or SFTP, it sees a backend as a piece of code that implement this programming interface. Not sure how could that work at all in that model
  2. what would it look like from the ux point of view? Let's keep in mind Filestash aims at making things easy to use for non technical people

I will say to this, the ability to atleast see if you are allowed to write to the directory you are in would be nice, to avoid the weird UI errors and such that show up when you arent allowed to write to it

Now I also see it quite difficult to even show it as it depends on operating system as well not just protocol.
