  • 1.  Modify SFTP UMASK

     Hi,

    I have an issue with SFTP UMASK from Linux client to AIX. It seems that the SFTP client affects the behaviour of uploaded files in an AIX SFTP server.

    In Windows (Filezilla) and AIX Sftp client, uploaded files' permission follow the UMASK of user profile.  This is the correct expected behaviour.

    However,  if a Linux SFTP client is used, the uploaded files follow permissions of the original file. Have anyone come across something similar to this? Any suggestion or idea.

    Try sss/sftp'ing into the same account from the different clients.

    Instead of sftp, you may want to consider scp. scp supports the -p option, which preserves modification time, permissions and such.
