Some FTP servers allow setting modes via FTP. You can open a connection to
the ftp site normally, then get the sub-port from the open port, then send a
command like "SITE CHMOD 775 file" then wait for a responce from the server
(which will usually be a numeric code, a space an english language result,
and a newline). It's not very convienent, but it may be easier than telnet,
if the FTP server supports it.
but never tried it.
