Re: [Nautilus-list] FTP file permissions

[Abe Fettig <abe fettig net>]

Is anyone out there willing to work on this?  I don't have very much C
programming experience, but this feature is important enough to me that
I'll give it a shot if nobody else wants to do it.

Hopefully just the threat of me posting a million questions to this list
as I try to figure out the code will be enough to motivate somebody else
to do it themselves ;-)
