Is there any way to do this as a default? That is, without inserting a command in the FTP stream. The PC app is working through a GUI with no apparent place for the user to insert any commands. We have an issue open with this vendor to see if they have a solution. I am mostly ignorant on the workings of *nix. The programmer says she can do this with Windows so she/we should be able to do it in *nix.

When the file gets created, it has its permission bits set to 775. Of course, programmers being programmers, they want the bits to be 776 or 777. Is there a way to tell USS that any new files created in this specific directory should have permission set to 777? The UMASK in UNIX controls the permission bits that get set. For FTP you can set the UMASK via SITE UMASK nnn (note that with some FTP clients you may need to use QUOTE SITE UMASK nnn).
