Hi,

I start with a file with rw-rw-r-- permissions. I ftp it to another system and it strips it back to rw-r--r--

I've tried setting the umask for the ftp daemon to 007 but I get the same results. (ftpd -u 007)

All other umask settings are as default.

How do I keep permissions following the transfer?

Use scp or rsync with the appropriate options. Or use lftp and use the chmod command within lftp after the transfer.
