well that's nothing to do with the client, it's the windows filesystem you copy them to. where's that information meant to go? try tarring the file up or something, that'll hold the attributes inside it

ok, so what's that using? i'm sure the ftp protocol shouldn't really be able to have much of a say over the permissions of a file, it doesn't see the data at that level afaik. have you tried using scp / sftp instead?

hi.
where is the locality of attributes of files? in file header or in system file table?I think that theme available in file.so there is no reason for any change during the transmission.
i will try scp and cp tomorrow, when i reach specific computers.

thanks acid_kewpie
