I am trying to ftp a file using TCL. The file is in a readonly mode in my source directory. but after i do a ftp, the file changes to non readonly mode (something i do not want .. i still want the file to be readonly).. i am using dos ftp .. any pointers will be aqppreciated. Ashish ''March 3rd'': It sounds like that's a bug in the ftp package. Whether this is the correct/best solution, I'm not sure, but you could cache the readonly value and reset it later with something like... set ro [file attributes $filename -readonly] file attributes $filename -readonly $ro 2004/10/26 - e0richt I don't believe that FTP is supposed to preserve file modes. I had a similar problem working on a RS/6000 box. You will either have to set the file attributes after transfer or if you had a lot of files you could ftp a .tar file which will preserve file attributes when it is unrolled. ----
