How to change file permission

Report

Hi,

Through connect FTP, file transferred from pega server to external FTP location.

Currently file permission shows owner read, write / group read / public none (640)

here I want to change the permissions, need to provide full access to owner and group.

Using Java code tried changing the file permission in pega path before transfer, but is not working as expected.

suggest me some alternate options

Hi,

Generally, system adminstrator must change the default 'umask' value for the user running the application server, in order to change the default file permissions.  This enable user to access and read the files.

Due to some security reason my project team admins are not granting access in FTP connection id level.

What is the way to control through code?

You can change the File permissions with the Java step, Add or remove permissions as required. This will set 777.

Pass the FileName along with location as parameter. /Folder/FileName.txt
