Hi Mark,
I am sorry I just do not have the time to sort out your main problem but as I use cuteftp it would be churlish of me if I did not at least answer this side for you.

CHMOD will only work if the server permits you to make chmod changes - pls contact your host as I have never found any problems with cuteftp and I have used various versions from 2.4 to 4.2 without this problem.

Sorry I could not help you with your main problem - but I am sure one of the other members will go to your assistance.

If you have not heard anything further by the end of the day then pm me and I will try and sort it out.

Chris
