Talk:OpenSSH/Cookbook/File Transfer with SFTP

I'm using OpenSSH 6.3p1 and the umask setting for the internal-sftp subsystem is not working. Any suggestions?


 * At first glance it seems to OR the sftp umask with the user's default umask. So more restrictive settings are allowed, but not less restrictive settings.  Larsnooden (discuss • contribs) 08:13, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It turns out it is not the user's umask, but the actual permissions of the file on the client that are getting imported. Many (most?) clients forward the file's local permissions to the server where it gets OR'ed with the server-side umask.  So to get more open permissions on upload, change the permissions on the client side first or else use a client like FileZilla which ignores the local permissions.
