I don't know if a common user want to change a remote file permissions, but I work with Ubuntu every day and I need this feature. Yes, I can use gftp but I think this is a very important missing feature: if I use Nautilus for my local files why can't use Nautilus for my remote files?
Konqueror can manage remote file permissions for years :( -- Nautilus as FTP has no CHMOD ability https://launchpad.net/bugs/19248 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
