Permission Problems with FTP From DOS to UNIX

[joemama613]

I am using FTP in Windows (DOS) to "put" a file onto my unix machine. The file comes to the unix side with the following permissions: -rw-r----- . Yet, if I am sitting in unix (with the exact same login that I use for FTP), and create a file, the permissions are: -rw-rw-r-- , which is really what I want them to be. How can I get the same permissions using FTP? In DOS FTP, there does not seem to be any CHMOD command or UMASK command. Help? THanks.

man ftpd (the -u option)

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV, Hope there was no misunderstanding, bu I am initiating the FTP transfer from DOS not UNIX. Thanks.

And PHV is telling you that the file mask on the resulting file on the unix end is dependent on the parameters used to start the ftp daemon on the unix side.

Yes, and I now apologize fro the misunderstanding on my part...thanks for the clarification.
