Permission changed after sftp


Hi ,

When I am transferring a file with permission 644 from Source Server, the permission changes to 600 on the Destination Server.

On Destination Server I tried setting the umask in my profile but still the permissions reamain 600 after file transfer.

There is a setting in sshd_config file "SftpUmask". But I dont want to use this as it will be applicable to all other users using sftp ..

How do i Achieve this if I want the permission to be same as that on Source Server.


Please help

Re: Permission changed after sftp

sftp allows for interactive commands, which you should be able to do from either the command line manually or within a script. Once the transfer of this specific file is transferred just put in the chmod / and then end the transmission.

Just a thought,

Hi Rita,

Does that mean that this cannot be achieved by default.

Is it mandatory to execute chmod to change the permissions.??

Use /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess

upload /home/user1 /path/to/upload/dir yes user1 group1 0666

file: any written to /home/user1 dir
user: user1
group: group1
perm of an file in /home/user1: 066
