Ok,
so if 2 people say that my way is wrong and the other is right, i will take mine back.
I posted it cause for me just the way i used it worked (i don't know why)

AND: i would not say something like: "I would try before post", in my opinion that is realy unfriendly, cause i tryed!

The "mode" parameter of the PHP5 ftp_chmod function is an integer value that is supposed to be given as an octal number, like the argument for the "chmod" command line tool.

Thus the sprintf must use the %o formatting character, so that the passed integer value is really represented as an octal number to the CHMOD site command for the FTP server.

So, IMHO, rabin's version is correct (it definitely worked for me).

rabin's code works just fine as a replacement for ftp_chmod().
I would try that before trying cspiegl's solution for pre-php 5 installations.

Hi,
The commet with the "ftp_site" is not correct!
You must use it like this:

<?php
if (!function_exists('ftp_chmod')) {
    function
ftp_chmod($ftp_stream, $mode, $filename)
    {
        return
ftp_site($ftp_stream, sprintf('CHMOD %u %s', $mode, $filename));
    }
}
?>

As mentioned in the note below, the function posted by "hardy add mapscene dot com" works incorrectly if used with an octal mode, the way the php5 function is used.

This function works exactly like the the php5 one:

<?php
if (!function_exists('ftp_chmod')) {
    function
ftp_chmod($ftp_stream, $mode, $filename)
    {
        return
ftp_site($ftp_stream, sprintf('CHMOD %o %s', $mode, $filename));
    }
}
?>
