file permission retention via ftp
Working out of AIX 4.3's .
have machine (a) and machine (b)
umask on both machines is 'umask 022'.
as user root (these are trivial machines hence dummies like me have root access) when i Ftp files from a to b , why is it that I loose the original file permissions. After the ftp I have to chmod it.
i.e, file <dummy> on machine (a) has value of -rw-r- -r- - , when ftp'ed to (b), <dummy> ends up as -rw-r- - - - -
Is this due to ftp or is there something else....
Thnx..

UMASK(3) 1 UMASK(3)
umask - Changes the current umask
SYNOPSIS
int umask ([int $mask])
DESCRIPTION
umask(3) sets PHP's umask to $mask & 0777 and returns the old umask. When PHP is being used as a server module, the umask is restored when
each request is finished.
PARAMETERS
o $mask
- The new umask.
RETURN VALUES
umask(3) without arguments simply returns the current umask otherwise the old umask is returned.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
umask(3) example
<?php
$old = umask(0);
chmod("/path/some_dir/some_file.txt", 0755);
umask($old);
// Checking
if ($old != umask()) {
die('An error occurred while changing back the umask');
}
?>
NOTES
Note
Avoid using this function in multithreaded webservers. It is better to change the file permissions with chmod(3) after creating the
file. Using umask(3) can lead to unexpected behavior of concurrently running scripts and the webserver itself because they all use
the same umask.
