Re: Maintaining file permissions with sftp

Roberto,

There's nothing in the sftp man page. My preference is to use rsync if you =
want to retain permissions. Use the -o and -g flags, or, -a but be aware th=
at -a will perform a recursive sync if it finds a directory. Just check out=
 the man page.
