How to control the file permissions when the netbe

Question

Whenever netbeans preforms an ftp upload the files are uploaded with the permissions set to 640. This causes PHP to throw the following error:

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/Library/WebServer/Documents/notes/index.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

While I can clean it up with a quick chmod o+r ./* in the command prompt it causes netbeans to resynchronize the entire project next time I hit run which in turn sets the permissions back to 640.

I need a way to make netbeans upload the files with permissions set to 644.

Answer 1

Make sure the checkbox for "Preserve Remote File Permissions" under Project Properties > Run Configuration is checked, if you want to not change remote file permissions.

Answer 2

I determined that the problem was not with netbeans. It was with ftpd on the server.

The fix was to create a file called ftpd.conf in /etc/ and add the following line:

umask all 022

Answer 3

In your vsftp.conf file, look for this:

# Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
local_umask=022

Then, un-comment / adjust as needed.

Answer 4

Just to make a little easier if you are tired like I was. All the other answer where a rabbit hole and didn't work for me.
