Change Permissions [chmod] with Dreamweaver [Update]
Last April, I reported my findings on how to use Adobe (formerly by Macromedia) Dreamweaver to change the permissions of web files and folders. The versions of Dreamweaver I had used were older, and the only way to accomplish this was to use a command-line interface built into Dreamweaver to enter FTP commands the ol’ fashioned way.
Being, by far, the most popular post with several follow-up comments, I felt it was time for an updated post with all the tips rolled together.
- Any version of Dreamweaver before 8 (MX or prior): Manual FTP commands, found here.
- Dreamweaver 8.0 (MX): The FTP command line was removed from this version. The only way to CHMOD within Dreamweaver is to download and install the extension. [Thanks, bill and eskimo]
- Dreamweaver CS3, CS4 (9.0 and above): The GUI interface for changing persmissions is already included. Just right-click!

A little side note that I came to realize, but in order for the GUI interface in Dreamweaver CS4 for Mac to appear, you MUST be in remote view when right-clicking on the file or directory.
