Hi,

I have a configuration file that for security reasons must be of single reading (CHMOD 444), when raising it is (CHMOD 644), whenever it change to CHMOD 444 automatically becomes again, some idea?

tengo un archivo de configuracion que por razones de seguridad debe ser de solo lectura (CHMOD 444), al subirlo es (CHMOD 644), cada vez que lo cambio a CHMOD 444 automaticamente se convierte de nuevo, alguna idea ???

What FTP program are you using? If you're rechecking the chmod settings by right clicking on the file then it won't show you the real permissions that way. Do a DIRINFO instead and it will show you the file permissions.

Hi there. If the CHMOD is 644, that's OK, since the first digit belongs to 'you', the main user of any process in *x systems. The problem is in the 'other' users, the digits two or three, and if they have what you need, all is ok. There's no need to make a file 'read only' if you are the main user and the only one that has access to it.

Hola. Si el CHMOD es 644, todo está OK, ya que ese primer dígito eres tú, el usuario del proceso, el dueño. Los dígitos 2 y 3 del CHMOD son donde debes tener cuidado, ya que esos son 'otros' usuarios (grupos y externos). No hay necesidad de hacer de sólo lectura un archivo propio.

Cheers/Saludos
