Read-only files after FTP download

Hi,

when we use the FTP Monitor processor, all the downloaded files become read-only.
I can't seem to find a way to disable this. Does anyone know a solution for this?

Many thanks
A FFAStrans newbie ;)

Hi deburen,

welcome to the forum and thank you for using FFAStrans :D
Thats really strange, it is not something that ffastrans does itself i assume.
Can you share your workflow? Is it like you just deliver the file using the deliver processor and the final target file is readonly?´

You might possibly get away with a commandline processor removing the readonly flag after delivery and do like:

Code: Select all

cmd /C "attrib -r "%s_source%""

Hi deburen,

It's not explicityly set by FFAStrans but it's probably the windows api function doing it. For the next release we can add a step in the FTP monitor where attributes is reset after downloading. Meanwhile try @emcodems suggestion.

Thanks for reporting! :-)

Hi emcodem,

thanks. That's the solution I needed :). I already tried the attrib command but forgot the correct quotation marks.
Workflow is like you described. Just a delivery processor right after the FTP Monitor
