FilePermissions Property

The file permissions for the RemoteFile .

Syntax

property FilePermissions: String;

Default Value

'0600'

Remarks

This property defines the permissions that will be assigned to the RemoteFile after an upload. The value is a four digit octal value. This is the same format that is used with the Unix chmod command. The default value of "0600" gives read/write permissions to the file's owner.

The last three octal digits are the most significant and represent, in order, the file access capabilities of the file's owner, the owner's group and other users. Each of these octal digits is, on its own, a 3-bit bitmask with the following possible values:

An octal permission digit of 7 would have all three values set and would mean that the file can be read, written and executed by that user class. For example, the octal permissions "100644" would have a value "6" for the owner, "4" for the group, and "4" for other users. This would be interpreted to mean that all users can read the file, no users can execute it and only the owner can write it. The permissions "40755" would mean that all users can read and execute the file, but only the owner can write it.

The previous octal digit is another bitmask with the following values:

Note: Not all servers support setting permissions after an upload.
