Hello,
I have an anonymous ftp site on my Web Host (running Red Hat) with all directory and file permissions set as 755, that is, they are program files with execute permission. I am downloading to my Fedora Linux box with the umask set to 022, that is, write permissions for the group and others are removed on download. However, this is not what occurs. Rather, on download the execute permissions are also removed. Can anyone explain why this might be occurring?
