The Properties dialog is accessed by selecting a file or folder in the remote server [A computer program that provides services to other computer programs (called clients).Often the computer on which a server program runs is also called a server. The term host is often used as a synonym for server.] window and clicking on the Properties command in the File menu or right-click menu.

The Properties dialog displays information such as the name, type, location, size, creation/modification date and owner for the selected file or folder.

The Attributes section of the dialog also allows you to view and change the UNIX-style permissions on files and folders. The Attributes field represents the octal chmod value of the selected file or folder. As a value is entered, the appropriate Executable, Owner, Group, and Other checkboxes are checked or unchecked. Alternatively, the checkboxes can be checked or unchecked to determine the octal chmod value.

Note: Viewing and changing the attributes of remote files and folders is not supported by all servers. This feature is usually only available on UNIX-based servers.
