RE: OS400/Unix authority settings

Merry Christmas!

You say you are "sending" those files. Is that (as it sounds) "sending" as
in via ftp? In a tar file or not?

I ask because the umask on the receiving system determines permissions for
files that are received via most methods, including FTP. The *recipent's*
system would be responsible for such settings.

To answer your question directly: those permissions are exactly the same on
IFS as they are on a unix system. The best way to set such permissions
depends upon how you are creating the file. chmod works well, as do the
APIs for setting permission flags.

I hope the information you seek is in here somewhere.

Hi Folks, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

I'm working with a biz partner who's requiring the permissions on IFS
files to be set to
644(rw-r--r--) on files that I send to his system from our AS400's.

What would be the IFS authority settings, if any, that would correspond
to 644(rw-r--r--)? Is there any place to find that info?

Thanks, Frank
