Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Forcing UID on Files/Dirs Created with SFTP? Post 302200060 by deckard on Wednesday 28th of May 2008 09:49:12 AM

Cameron. Thanks for the suggestion. That looks a lot nicer than PuTTY and WinSCP and it's one client. I'm sure I'll find uses for that. Smilie In this particular situation I'm stuck though... The users refuse to consider anything but Webdrive and it doesn't appear to have any way to do chown or chgrp. I think I might just set up an ssh login for them with a menu instead of a shell and have them select "Post Upload Cleanup" as an option to do the chown and chgrp in the background.

If more than one is specified, only the final one takes effect. -H if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it -L traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered -P do not traverse any symbolic links (default) --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit EXAMPLES
