Question on..basic File permissions..

[niet72]

Hi,
I am new to Unix/Linux world. I have question on the file permissions that are associated with the file and how to control during ftp/sftp.

I have a Weblogic account - "weblogic", created in this Linux (redhat 4.0) Server. I have scripts that sftp's the application files from this server to other Linux Servers and a Unix Servers using this same "weblogic" account.

The problem is after it sftp's the file the permisions set of those files are -rw-r--r-- .

How can I control this in my scripts or globally? I want the permissions to be: -rw-rw--r--

thanks
niet.

Weblogic's account umask must be 22. With umask 22, group write is turned off. If you setup weblogic with umask 2 (in that shell startup) then it should have group write.

This is only good for sftp, ftp does not invoke a shell (one can set "umask" in the ftp command, however).
