That isn't how umasks work. They're a bitmask that's applied with a bitwise and, not subtraction. With scp or sftp, the default file permission is whatever the ssh client declares (usually 0644, but it could be 0666 or 0600 depending on the client). Then the umask is applied, which at most can remove permission bits (not add them). So if the client uploads a file and the client says the permissions should be 0600, the file will never have less restrictive permissions than 0600. The only thing umask can be used to do is make the permissions more restrictive. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
