Setting file permissions on remote server via sFTP and PowerShell

Question

Hi All,

I am trying to set the permissions of a file that I have moved to a new directory on the remote server. I am connected to the server via sFTP and the script is being run through PowerShell.

Any help would be great!.

Answer 1

Use this code to set remote file permissions via SFTP from PowerShell:

$sftp = New-Object Rebex.Net.Sftp
$sftp.Connect("server")
$sftp.Login("user", "password")
$attributes = New-Object Rebex.Net.SftpAttributes
$attributes.Permissions = [Rebex.Net.SftpPermissions] "OwnerWrite, OwnerRead"
$sftp.SetAttributes("file.txt", $attributes)
$sftp.Disconnect()

Thanks Tomas that worked! BTW you are also right that you have to list out each of the permissions.
