thanks shrekkie but i can't find any mention about ability to set file permissions through FTP client which is the most important area atm - as there are plenty of ftp servers out there that fill the other requirments but very fewi have seen with the ability basically to allow chmod (a *nix term but you know hat i mean ;)) does OpenSSH support this??

openssh isn't for windows if you ask me...
I don't know of any ports or cygwin releases
-
Maestro,
Just keeping it exciting hah :p ....

Try Serv-U. SSL version came out not too long ago.

If you run cygwin on windows, you can run vsftp. A super fast, super secure ftpd. It's used by many big name sites that run public FTP servers.

This ftp client ability looks like it will do everything you need and more, it also appears to support ssl which is always a plus. From what I understand its a pretty good ftp server too
I personally use Bullet Proof the unfortunate thing for you is that to my knowledge it doesnt allow remote admin so you may want to give ability a try.

if you need to chmod only the ftp related rights you can try raidenftpd
it puts the file perms into a .ACL file.
it supports TLS.
goto: raidenftpd.com
(btw. the trial really sucks ;))

Sorry Boys, I posted a dead link. Here is the correct working one. http://vsftpd.beasts.org/
Thank you for the heads up bledgon ;)

There is also Win-OpenSSH for Windows.
http://www.networksimplicity.com/openssh/
It is basically a stripped down cygwin with openSSH running as a Windows service. I was able to get it up and running in 20 minutes. I haven't spent too much time with it since I can't use it from off-campus, but it seems to allow permissions to be set.

i would recomend a bullet proof ftp server its easy to config and good to use ;) hope it helps
-
bulletproof is nice...
...and it costs $34.95
-
thanks guys for the suggestions :)
hopefully have it sorted - just gonna have MB set permissions locally atm but is cool :D

yeah its not that expensive to buy but as it goes for configuration and for use its so simple and plus you get online help from them so no problem with that :D
