recursive chmod problem

Hi, I'm trying to use custom commands tu recursively chmod some folders:

SITE CHMOD -R 777 content/files

but it doesn't work:

[20:46:27] SITE CHMOD -R 777 content/files
[20:46:27] 550 -R 777 content/files: No such file or directory

while normal chmod works...is there any issue with the -R option?

Does your server support the SITE CHMOD -R command? Most don't.

I had same problem with 2 different websites:
www.starvinartists.net and,
www.sotoscruises.com

but my own site:
www.caymanactivityguide.com
works fine

It must have something to do with how the website is structured or the site map or something like that.


I have been using the latest Smart FTP client 64-bit version for Windows for over two years. This is the first time I had the CHMOD -R problem.

It must have something to do with how the website is structured or the site map or something like that.

Or, as mb already said, it has something to do with whether the server software on those sites was configured to support CHMOD -R or not ...
