I’m scheduling CSVs to a remote FTP via a business intelligence tool once a month. Per requirements, the file name should be consistent month to month and the file may or may not be deleted. To check if the BI tool would overwrite the file, I scheduled one for one day and the same report for the next, then monitored the “last modified” date in the FTP.
Surprisingly, both files are sitting next to each other with the same filename and appropriate modified dates. The permissions are set to -CR–M—-FTP which I haven’t seen before. Each file has the same Owner/Group with a difference string after the owner name.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
This was solved – server setting on their end. Unfortunately I don’t have any more details for anyone else out there, but know that it is possible.
