Re: OS400/Unix authority settings

I thought, depending on how files are sent, that the authority on the remote system would be determined by that system. For example, when a file is created on a Unix system, the default authority is determined by the value of the umask variable. Just seems that applications on the remote system would have to make that adjustment. An example is a DEC system, which has owner, group, other, and world settings. Not directly translatable to OS/400, which is why I thought only the remote system could make that adjustment.

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
