ftp file permission problem

DC. — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 05:59:57 GMT

i have created a normal user in hp-unix using which files are ftped from diffrent server. the file permissions are coming as
-rw-r----- 1 abc xyz 10239898 Nov 20 12:27 test2002.txt

where as we require the permission to be

-rw-rw---- 1 abc xyz 10239898 Nov 20 12:27 test2002.txt

Is there any way to achieve this?

Hi,
I would recommand the user chmoding the files after transmission. That way the user remembers to set the permissions he wants, rather than a default.

You could also try using scp. It is more secure than FTP and you can use the "-p" option to keep the permissions:

scp -p /dir/file serverb:/dir
