file permission is not correct while copying files with SCP

Question

we are trying to copy files from one server to another but the permissions of copied files are not correct. I have tried following solution but its not working.

currently permission is set to : -rw------- We want to change the permissions to -rw-rw-r—

Any one faced this issue ?

EDIT: We have Unix on both the sides.

Answer 1

Use the "-p" flag to preserve permissions when copying with SCP.

Answer 2

Check your umask on the remote side. I'll bet it looks like 077.

Answer 3

If you run WinSCP, there's an option set perms after the upload. Other than that, I believe that the only thing you can do is to chmod after the upload.

Answer 4

You could try something more advanced like rsync, perhaps it has the needed options.

Answer 5

I've set this with a chmod after the copy.

scp /path/to/file server:/path/to/file
ssh server chmod 664 /path/to/file
