file permissions when ftp'ing

[Tim Killinger]

Hello,

Simple question - :)

What determines the file permissions on the destination copy of a file that is ftp'ed?

or - how/what can you configure to control an ftp session so that the destination file retains permissions of the originating file?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Tim,

The permission of ftp sessions by default goes to 027 umask. But this can be changed by the umask command in ftp session.
Which results in dumping the file on ftp server with what ever permission you want.
