Long-time listener, first-time caller....
A colleague of mine is considering using the STAF FS service to copy a
file onto a test server, and we know that we can use the STAF FS COPY
command to do that -- we're doing that, and it's fine. Here's the wrinkle:
we need the file to show up on the target server with specific
ownership/permissions. When we use the STAF FS COPY command to copy the
file, the file ends up owned by the OS userid that the STAF process is
running as, with default file permissions.
Is there a way to set file ownership/permissions? Or to copy a file and
retain ownership/permissions?
We've looked and can't seem to find any obvious way to do this...
We did come up with a couple of workarounds but they're all pretty
clumsy... for example we could do a STAF FS COPY, then a STAF PROCESS
START to run the chown and chmod commands we'd need... but we were
thinking there must be something more elegant than that...
Another issue we're facing is the requirement to rename a file. For
reasons that are internal to our product, 'copy' isn't good enough; we
actually need to be able to take a file in-place and just change its name.
We were hoping/expecting to find an FS service subcommand but we didn't
find one. Obviously we could do a STAF PROCESS START and use the OS's
native commands to do the rename, but we were trying to use STAF services
where possible so as to insulate ourselves from all those quirky
OS-specific differences.
Any ideas, on either of these questions?
