Child folder access rights on SFTP server

Hi

I'm using the latest Windows Version of FreeFileSync with SFTP and private keys. On the other end, there is a Linux Samba server which I share with some other people. It works GREAT.

My question concerns the access rights given to directories which FFS creates on the server when synchronising. I would like those new directories to inerhit the acces rights from the directory over them (i.e., usually, 0x2770).

Now I have noticed that FFS has created subdirectories with too restrictive access rights (0x2755) in existing directories which hat (correctly) 0x2770.

How can I prevent it, i.e. either that FFS gives the "children" the same access rights as their "parents", or be able to set default access rights in FFS?

Thanks and regards
Patrick

FreeFileSync passes 0777 for directory creation. The 0755 is then caused by the server's umask.

Thank you Zenju.

For us it would be very useful to be able to set the "Set GID" bit (i.e. 2777 instead of 0777). Is that possible?

Thanks

Hello

Any forecast about when this could be implemented?

Every subdirectory I create on our server has the "wrong" access rights...
