Error changing permissions despite feature being turned off.

2011-11-21 20:29

I'm trying to copy some files to a server. It had worked for years, but then it starts producing the following error.

but error occurred while setting the permissions and/or timestamp

Looking at the FAQ and the forum, I found I needed to turn off permission changing. Looking at the GUI, it is turned off. Looking at the ini file, it is turned off:

[Configuration\Interface\CopyParam]
AddXToDirectories=0
Masks=%2A.%2Ahtml;%20%2A.htm;%20%2A.txt;%20%2A.php;%20%2A.php3;%20%2A.cgi;%20%2A.c;%20%2A.cpp;%20%2A.h;%20%2A.pas;%20%2A.bas;%20%2A.tex;%20%2A.pl;%20%2A.js;%20.htaccess;%20%2A.xtml;%20%2A.css;%20%2A.cfg;%20%2A.ini;%20%2A.sh;%20%2A.xml
FileNameCase=0
PreserveReadOnly=0
PreserveTime=0
PreserveRights=0
IgnorePermErrors=0
TransferMode=2
ResumeSupport=1
ResumeThreshold=102400
ReplaceInvalidChars=1
LocalInvalidChars=/%5C:%2A%3F"<>|
CalculateSize=1
ExcludeFileMask=
NegativeExclude=0
ClearArchive=0
CPSLimit=0
Queue=0
QueueNoConfirmation=1
QueueIndividually=0
NewerOnly=0
CopyParamList=3
Text=---------

I was able to run the script successfully by setting a default for the text file-type, which had those settings. It ran once, then a week later when I tried to run it again, it produced the same permission change error.

The default type is still there, the changes to the .ini file are still there, and I've tried adding those settings into the session section to see if it was an issue with the saved connection not having those settings enabled.

How can I turn off these settings to prevent an attempt at changing the permissions?

Please post a full log file showing the problem.

To generate log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. For posting extensive logs you may use pastebin or similar application. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.

Thanks for your post. This issue has been added to the tracker:
https://winscp.net/tracker/773

Meanwhile, as a workaround, disable resumable file transfers:
