RE: Help with chmod

["biscut" <biscut ntlworld com>]

Not too sure, i fdisk'd the drive as you said and set the partition type to
be Linux, I think it was 83 or something like that, I manually mount the
drive with "mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/ftp" and then copied some files onto the
drive, the files copied over fine, but I got messages saying that "operation
not permitted" when it came to preserving file permissions, I have also
tried to mount the drive by using "mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/ftp" just in
case that made any difference but it didnt :-( so I currently have the drive
mounted using the former of the two commands.

biscut
