System Backup / FTP Permissions

[nhouse]

Good Day Everyone!

I have a question for you DA gurus. I am using the control panel as ADMIN to create a system backup and basically have directed it to put the files here... "$MOUNT_POINT/home/admin/da_backups"

Now, I log in with SyncBack (an automated FTP backup program) and try to copy the files to my local machine. I have it set to log in as admin with my password, of course... and it cannot copy the files over because of a permissions issue.

The directory that I created on the DA box, as stated above, has permissions of 755... but the directory created by DA's backup program (and has placed in my directory) has permissions set to 640. So, is there a way for me to adjust this so that I can accomplish what I am trying to do? I had hoped that logging into the server as admin with SyncBack would have presented the proper permissions to do this... but obviously it didn't.

Thoughts? Suggestions? I appreciate your insight!

- create da_backups via the FTP program

- chmod the file to 777 and chown it to either apache or admin

- if none work, it mustn't be a permission issue rather an X issue (x=unkown)

I tried to do the same but via http (make the file avaiable via http and then download it) but the size was around 60 GB and I wasnt able to for some reason- 404 (all browsers).

peace,

Thanks for the input... I know I could go in via SSH and change the permissions but I need the backup program used by DA (sysbak, I believe) to set it properly for me when it runs a backup job.

If I create a cron job to run it and place the files where I want them, wouldn't admin be the owner? I must admit that I have a lot to learn about these things.

Anyone else have an observation?
