How do I set default permissions in my SSH FTP client?

We recommend that you review your settings in the SSH client or FTP client. They should be set as follows:

1. Open the SSH client.
2. From the Edit menu, click Settings.
3. In the left pane (depicted as area 1 below), click Global Settings -> File Transfer -> Advanced.
4. In the right pane (depicted as area 2 below), modify the Upload section as follows:
   
   
   • "Preserve original destination permissions" should be checked.
   • Default file permissions: 664
   • Default directory permissions: 775

5. Click OK. These changes should persist for future uses.

   

If this change does not help, please contact the IT Help Center (consult@udel.edu) for further assistance.
