No, but you said you could retrieve the list, so I assumed that would be 
on something you had command line access to so you could carry out the

Then, with the macros on the URL I gave, you could run a script to chmod 
each file in turn, assuming macros are available.

Never heard of that one. I prefer WS-FTP under Windows and ncftp for Unix.
