I'm not sure where all the "she" stuff is coming from. I'm a he(6foot1, bald, beard).
Tony is directly on point. The programmer (she's a she) wants any file created in the z/OS USS directory she's FTPing to, to have default the default permissions of 776 (as can be done with Windows, according to her and Tony). But only for the directory she's using. She doesn't have access to the FTP commands because of the GUI in the software product (ASG Zena) so she can't insert a SITE command as far as we know. Does anyone know if this can be done in z/OS 1.7's USS or for that matter, any Unix system. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.)

Is it really not possible to >do this in UNIX? Is that what she is asking for, or does she want to control the permission specifically for files transferred with FTP? I read her message as requesting the latter, in which case she might not be amused if other programs started creating files with the wrong permission bits. Also, is she asking about the permissions on the PC or on MVS? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz, SysProg and JOAT ISO position; see <http://patriot.net/~shmuel/resume/brief.html> We don't care.
