Re: OS400/Unix authority settings

This isn't a bug in SSH. To test this, I created a file on my Linux system, Fedora 12, changed the permissions, and sent it, using sftp to another user on the same system. The file permissions for the pther user were as they were initially. I can't imagine why that would be different for any system.

See below:

[jmmckee@localhost ~]$ date>date
[jmmckee@localhost ~]$ ls -l date
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jmmckee jmmckee 29 2010-12-20 09:33 date
[jmmckee@localhost ~]$ chmod 666 date
[jmmckee@localhost ~]$ ls -l date
-rw-rw-rw- 1 jmmckee jmmckee 29 2010-12-20 09:33 date
[jmmckee@localhost ~]$ sftp wcmckee@xxxxxxxxx
Connecting to 127.0.0.1...
wcmckee@xxxxxxxxx's password:
sftp> put date
Uploading date to /home/wcmckee/date
date 100% 29 0.0KB/s 00:00
sftp> quit
[jmmckee@localhost ~]$ ssh wcmckee@xxxxxxxxx
wcmckee@xxxxxxxxx's password:
Last login: Mon Dec 20 09:33:19 2010 from localhost.localdomain
[wcmckee@localhost ~]$ ls -l date
-rw-rw-r-- 1 wcmckee wcmckee 29 2010-12-20 09:34 date


The created file permissions are initially -rw-rw-r-- in my directory. I changed it to -rw-rw-rw- in my directory. The file is then copied to another user accound, and the permissions are as they were initially.

Ah, then the question is, does the transfer using SSH change the
permissions? You can definitely use it on the local file on the i -
remember, you either have to be the owner or have *ALLOBJ in order to
run chmod - same as CHGAUT. But you can always make a local copy, then
apply chmod to it, since you're the owner. And remember that adopted
authority doesn't work in the IFS.

If you set the permissions on i and transfer using SSH, and the
permissions are changed, well, either there's a bug in SSH or your
partner needs to accommodate you somehow.

Unfortunately, the target system will not allow chmod on their system.

Hi
I've never used SSH so can't speak to that. But chmod is the ticket for
nix-style permissions. Maybe there's a way to run commands on the
arget system through SSH - that box should have its own chmod command.
Good luck!

Hi Vern, the files will be transferred using SSH via a 3rd party application
ut I'm noticing that the permissions are different each time I send the file
sing a different chgaut assignment and since there doesn't seem to be an
quivalent chgaut for 644 I'm trying to use chmod.
