Oh, I should add to my own comment - > So, SCP gets you (777 minus profile:umask) unless you use scp -p.
The -p of course sets the permissions to what they were on the source file, ignoring user UMASK (subject probably to the SYSTEM umask?). Per man scp, -p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file. Note that -o lets you set any .ssh/config parameter on scp commandline. -- /"\ Bill Ricker N1VUX [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / http://world.std.com/~wdr/ X Member of the ASCII Ribbon Campaign Against HTML Mail / \ _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
