Re: File permissions on a file upload

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Ken.  That is very good information.  I have read it a few times 
and I am still digesting..

I am trying to figure out whose rules we are playing by, the iSeries or 
Unix, when I am running in PASE.  In the UNIX world you state that  c)   
*PUBLIC has the same object authorities to the new object that it has to 
the parent directory. I think that is what I expected since the folder 
has the following permissions:

             Data     --Object Authorities--
User        Authority  Exist  Mgt  Alter  Ref
                                           
*PUBLIC     *RWX         X     X     X     X
QTMHHTP1    *RWX         X     X     X     X
QTMHHTTP    *RWX                            

QTMHHTP1 owns the folder and, presumably, QTMHHTP1 is the profile that 
PHP is running under.

The file, however, is created with the permissions I stated before:

            Data     --Object Authorities--
User        Authority  Exist  Mgt  Alter  Ref
                                          
*PUBLIC     *NONE        X     X     X     X
QTMHHTP1    *RW          X     X     X     X


So this seems to be playing by iSeries rules and is similar to the 
CPYTOXXXX commands where the resulting object authority is *PUBLIC *NONE.

Have you, or anyone else, tackled such an issue?  It looks like I could 
have the application that uploads the file issue a CHGAUT command on the 
file after it is uploaded.  But, since it is PHP, I'd have to figure out 
how to issue that command correctly.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.
