How can I change the permissions of the file/command, while using the sftp command via a shell script? My sftp connection is established, but it fails while executing the chmod command.
As of now, I am using chmod 775, which exits without creating proper permissions in the target directory.
shell-script chmod sftp

You say that you're usingsftpin the context of a shell script. How are you passing the commands tosftp? If you're using the-bswitch, I cannot replicate your problem; I have successfully used it to upload a file and change its permissions.

1) the only error message i receive is invalid command. the command, i pass through the script is quote site chmod 750 $file.txt, after the put command. The put is successful. When, i do it manually, i am not receiving any error. It is successful. Only when done via script it errors me out. there are 2 files i ftp and both are able to be sftp'ed.
