I can recursively delete files (by deleting a directory, which deletes all files in all subdirectories).

Why can't I recursively chmod files? Often I upload files to a unix-based server and then find that the permissions are all wrong. If I've just uploaded several hundred files in a few dozen directories, chmodding them all can be a real pain. When I usually just want to apply the same permissions to every file that I've just uploaded.

I suppose this isn't part of the FTP spec, but it'd be rather easy to add and it's a feature that no FTP client supports that I know of.
