Hi All,

I am sending a dataset(file) via FTP in mainframe to another server.
I need to change the file attributes. How to change them during FTP'ing it?

Currently the file attribute are (-rw-r-----)
I need to change it to (-rw-r--r--) so that all users in that server will be able to read this file without any access issues.

I tried with CHMOD command but it does not worked while FTP from mainframe. Any other ways to do this so that file is made available ot read for all?

Please help.

Regards
Prabaharan.

You spelled it wrong ... chmod does not have an E on the end.

If it doesn't like the SITE command, try QUOTE SITE ....
