chmod

I'm transfering files from my Windows server to Linux.

I need to chmod the files as they transfer so that they have the correct permissions on the Linux server to be processed.

The names of the files will always start acct_bal followed by a changing sequential number, therefore I need to emulate chmod 666 acct_bal* somewhere within Smart ftp.

Thanks for your help in advance.

1. Upload all the files
2. Use the search function in SmartFTP to search for acct_bal*
3. Right click on the all the files in the search resualt. Then select Properties from the context menu.
4. Change the attributes. Click OK

Thanks, but does that only change the already transferred files ? If so what about files that will be transferred in the future ?

I've the local and destination folders "monitored" so that whenever there is a change on the Windows server the files are copied to Linux. There are typically 1000 changes a day so I can't keep going back to change the permissions via the attributes properties.

kind regards,

You cannot automatically change the permissions of files (based on a mask) that SmartFTP is uploading.
