Question

Dreamweaver Uploading Files With Incorrect Permission

  • November 5, 2020

I have recently done two things

  1. Reinstalled the CentOS image on my Linux server with Plesk Obsidian.
  2. Dreamweaver had issues connecting to this fresh install so I followed this guide on the Adobe site to clear my configureation: Unable to connect to SFTP in Dreamweaver

 

Since doing this, everytime I upload any folder using Dreamweaver, the permission is set to 700 and everytime I upload a file, the permission is set to 600.

 

I contacted my server provider and they attempted to replicate the situation, uploading files to the server, however they were sucessful in doing so with the correct permissions. They did not specify their upload tool, however it was by S/FTP.

 

Their Response

I have not been able to replicate the issue, when I accessed using the FTP for the user tim and uploaded a test file and folder the file had 644 permissions and the folder 755, this is what I would expect as a default.

 

Since then, I have attempted to run through the Abobe Cleaner Tool, uninstall and reinstall Dreamweaver, however all have resulted in the same outcome.

 

I have searched to see whether there is a special settings place which allows you to specify the permissions files and folders will be uploaded with, however there does not seem to be such feature.

      I ran into the same thing today.  Dw uploaded files with permissions that only let the uploading user see them online.  Had to change them on the server.  Obviously, this is a step we'd like to avoid.

      Note that this issue has been around for a LONG time.

      We're running Apache with OpenSuse.  Dw is running on Windows 10.

      While you're at it, Dw Team, please come up with a clean way to work on WordPress sites / themes without installing a local server.

      Let me know if I can offer up any other clues for you so that this can be fixed.

      @AM_Dave,

      In case you missed it, DW is only minimally maintained now.  No new features are planned.

       

      As to permissions that only allow certain users to access updated files online, that's totally outside the scope of DW.  Cached browser data is the likely culprit.

      I have exactly the same issue. New Centos server and can only connect via SFTP. Dreamweaver on Mac 10.15.7. New files are uploaded with permision 664 which causes a server error. Easy to correct 1 by 1 but major pain if I batch load new files. Can't find any option in Dreamweaver to set default upload permission. Seems related to SFTP. No issues if I use cyberduck as I can set default permissions. Not efficient to design in Dreamweaver and upload files in a different app.

      @GaryStg - based on the previous post by the original poster of the thread, the issue is actually within Plesk right now that is causing the issue.  While I agree that DW could look into advanced options, the original issue is caused by something outside of DW's control on the server side.  Have you raised this issue with Plesk as well so they can prioritize a fix?  Like Adobe, if Plesk does not hear from enough users that this is an issue, they won't resolve it from their end either.

       

      In the meantime, Adobe does have a feature request form you can fill out to request this in a future release: https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html .

      I agree with Ben M's suggestion to use a dedicated S/FTP client like Filezilla.  FZ can chmod permissions on the remote server if needed with right-click.

      What OS are you using with DW?  And what are the permissions set at locally?

      I am running Windows 10 and I am not sure how to check. Previous to the steps I have taken, all was working perfectly fine, so I'm unsure to why it would be done to any local permissions?

      Can you try uploading via FileZilla or an alternative FTP client and confirm the issue is limited to within DW only?

       

      The closest thing I read about investigating this is a Windows permissions issue where if Windows has permissions on the file it will try to retain those on the server when transferring via SSH ( https://serverfault.com/questions/822010/how-to-control-permissions-for-files-uploaded-through-sftp-by-filezilla ).
