Permission codes using FTP - keeping Permissions on files sendt

[Larshg]

Hi

I'm using ftp to send file to another server - my problem is that I would like NOT to have the permission codes for the files changede

I using this script

#!/bin/ksh
user="nmsuser"
pswd="o&moper1"

ftp -inv $1 <<END
user $user $pswd
ascii
cd $dir
send $2
bye
END

throu the firewall the only thing open is FTP between the 2 servere.


Thanks

If you know the permissions of the file, you can add this line in your ftp script, after the send:
chmod mode $2

Hope This Help, PH.

I don't

Is there any way to get the numbers from the original file?

As far as I know, these permissions are handled by the setup of the server.
If 'root' on 'miniClient' sends file, they shall not be owned by 'root' from 'bigServer'.
And if a file is marked to be executable for 'other' on miniClient, shall they be executable for anybody on bigServer?

And if you create user 'Eric' on the client, and 'Eric' on the server, they may, or may not have the same 'UID'. Normally they will have the same uid only by random.

Often ftp is performed crossing platforms, so permissions might not exist - or not exist in the same way.
