If you click on DirInfo it will tell you the current settings for all file in
the current directory, is an ls -l command.
You are referring to the "Remote File Permissions Dialog", used to change,
execute a chmod command, which works like a command line chmod command. More
correctly would be like hitting the Up-Arrow to look at your last chmod
command.
I happen to think WS_FTP is very reliable, but like any other tool you have to
know how to us it.
