Unix Permission Compatibility
For compatibility with SFTP clients that connect from Unix and Linux based systems, our SFTP service will display imitation POSIX permissions.
These permissions do not reflect the actual privileges that are assigned to the connected user account.
Our SFTP server will always indicate that files and folders are readable and writeable, and that folders are accessible, no matter what permissions are actually set. These permissions are commonly referred to as 0666 or -rw-rw-rw-
, for files, and 0777 or drwxrwxrwx
, for folders.
To observe the actual permissions, refer to the permission configuration of the user account, taking into consideration any permission fences that might be applied to target folders.
