Re: Maintaining file permissions with sftp
[In reply to]

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 that -a will perform a recursive sync if it finds a directory. Just check out the man page.
