First time I've ever heard of a 4 digit CHMOD, and I'm the one who designed the CHMOD dialog in FFXP (if I recall)

There MAY be some servers that support it, just like some servers support the SITE command, but it is definitely no standard mentioned in any RFC I've ever read.

If it increases in popularity among multiple platforms or popular FTPd's, I'm sure Charles may be willing to add a detection that includes a 4th permission column.

There is one bug with FFXP now with this brings to light. When adding preceeding digits to the CHMOD value, the checkboxes align to the left of the digits, not the right...

That is: 0777 (the check boxes see 077, not 777)

We have to also make sure that older FTP servers are not confused the same way. If FFXP passes 0777 to older servers, they may interpret it as 077 as well.
