Ole,
GridFTP, like FTP does not preserve file permissions. The permissions are determined by the destination site (umask). Clients can however use SITE CHMOD command to change the permissions. We have plans to add this feature to globus-url-copy (http://jira.globus.org/browse/GRIDFTP-70 )

Hi,
In old days when i was trying to learn this, after not being able to figure out a way for this. I created an executable named, makeexe and place it on the grid sites where my jobs would run. All my used to execute that executable with the actual executable as a parameter. which would then run and do the rest of the job.

cheers,

Hi,

is there a way to tell GridFTP to preserve the "executable" file attribute when transferring e.g. a shell script file? Right now, the source file looks like this:

-rwxr-----  1 oweidner lsuusers      129 Mar 15 10:05 run_su3.sh

and the copied file like this:

-rw-r--r--  1 oweidner lsuusers      129 Mar 15 11:57 run_su3.sh

Why does GridFTP do that?
Thanks,
Ole
