| + | ====== Properties Dialog ====== | ||
| + | In Properties Dialog you can [[task_properties|change properties]] of remote files and directories. To display the dialog go to //File(s) > Properties//. | ||
| + | &screenshotpict(properties) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== File Information ===== | ||
| + | In the upper part of the dialog you can see information about the selected file(s). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The //Size// field will state "Unknown", if the selection contains at least one directory. Press //Calculate// button next to it to calculate the total size of all files in the selected directories. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Ownership ===== | ||
| + | The //Group// and //Owner// boxes can be used to change ownership of the selected files. Initially the boxes will show current ownership as long as all selected files has the same owner/group. Otherwise the boxes will be empty. Leave them empty not to change the ownership, when you are changing other properties (like permissions). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The boxes are disabled if current [[protocols|protocol]] does not allow changing ownership. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Permissions ===== | ||
| + | The [[ui_permissions|permissions]] box can be used to change permissions of selected files. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Changing Properties Recursivelly ===== | ||
| + | If the selection contains at least one directory, there will be additional checkbox //Set group, ownership and permissions recursively//. It will make WinSCP to change the properties for all files in selected directories. | ||
| + | |||
| + | With SFTP protocol this can take considerable time as the change must be made for each file specially. With SCP the change is made once for each selected file or directory only, so it is can be much quicker. However as consequence WinSCP won't be able to keep some properties, especially permissions, of files in subdirectories unchanged, when you request it. | ||
