Change UNIX file permitions using ABAP

Question

Hello,
I create a file using the open and close dataset statements and the file has the following permitions:
-rw-rw----
Now i whant to send the file using FTP to another server, but function module FTP_COPY return the error:
Permission denied
Is that possible to change the file permition on the file creation or after?
Kind regards

Yes , you can chnage, are you the owner of the file, then it can be done.
i can tell you the simple way to do that.
REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                no standard page heading.
data: unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.  
"7 full perimission to read
"7 full permission to change
"7 full permission to delete
<b>unixcom = 'CHMOD 777 fillfullpath'.</b>
data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
        line(400),
      end of tabl.
data: lines type i.
start-of-selection.
  refresh tabl.
  call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
                id 'TAB'     field tabl[].
in the above code provide fullpath of the file.
