At work I regularly have to get a file or folder of files from our server. The problem is that when the files are copied from the server to my Mac the permissions are set to read only. It's a bit of a pain to have to go into Get Info on each file and set it to read & write.

I wondered if it was possible to make a Finder plugin (using Automator?) to get a contextual menu to change the permissions automatically?

Unfortunately I don't know how I can set the permissions of a file in Finder, I thought I could use the "get selected finder item" action and the move to a run script action but it's the script I need.. I've tried to hunt out an Automator action but can't find one. Can anyone help?
