Re: permissions in a web directory using umask

["Miguel González Castaños" <mgc@tid.es>]

After researching a little bit, it seems to be a SSH1 protocol issue.

I had SSH windows client 3.0 version, now update it to 3.2.0 and
because it forces to use SSH2 protocol that doesnt ignore umask
settings.

It seems that it was a bug regarding the use of SSH1 protocol, forcing
the ssh daemon to use SSH2 maybe fix it (not sure yet).

Many thanks

Miguel
