Keep permissions of overwritten file when moving to trash

2016-11-05 09:29

Hi,

In certain directory I have file premissions set to 0755. Using remote trash the file to be ovewritten is moved to trash and new file is stored, however it has 0644 but I want to keep the same permission 0755. Is that somehow possible?

Thanks!

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. 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 can mark the attachment as private.

Here it comes.
Moved file in trash preservers its permissions while the new one has 0644

Thanks for the log.

It's the ascii mode that (incorrectly) prevents WinSCP from restoring the permissions. Turn it off, if possible. I'll look into this.

Binary mode didn't help.

Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a debug version of WinSCP to track the problem? Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile.
