When I create a directory with the filemanager I cannot enter, delete, do anything with it in my ftp program ?

Is this normal ?
Can I change the permission the filemanager sets so I can also use FTP

Sometimes it is more convenient to upload pictures with FTP cause selecting multiple file with filemanager is not possible

If you upgraded to CMSMS 1.0 beta5 and then went to Site Admin -> Global settings and changed File Creation Mask (umask): from "022" to "000" it should allow you to modifty uploaded files & folders with your FTP client.

Hope this helps,

Is the upgrade process documented somewhere ?

How do I upgrade without touching what I have now ?

The upgrade script should touch your content. It should only make the necessary changes to work with the latest CMSMS version.

Just to make sure....
When I have backup my stuff...I ftp the zip file to my dir....
My stylesheets and templates will be overwritten ?!?

Or is there an upgrade zip which will only upgrade the necessary stuff (not pages contents, stylesheets, template, etc

Yes, then you can use something like the Cpanel file manager to extract it, or you can unzip it before uploading.

The CMSMS stylesheets and templates are stored in the database and thus will not get overwritten.

The upgrade script only upgrades the necessary stuff. It shouldn't touch your pages, stylesheets, and templates.

AH I see I didn't realise that.
Now I understand.

Thanks again.
I'll start upgrading tomorrow.

This is some great CMS !

Ok,

I Upgraded to CMS Made Simple 1.0-beta5 "Hawaii" as you suggested. (That went like a breeze  )
I set the umask to 000.

I created a "test" photoalbum.
In my ftp program I canNOT get access
[20:59:30] 550 /web/xxxxx/uploads/images/test: Permission denied   ???

chmod info:

user: 15
group: 11

permissions: 750

whereas when I upload images with ftp.

user: 525
group: users
permissions: 777

Any ideas ?!?
