Mode lost after saving the file to the server

[pwwang]

The mode is 777 before I save it through VSCode:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 user group 1.9K May 25 14:20 proc.py

After I save it, it's changed to 666:

-rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 1.9K May 25 14:23 proc.py

The executable permission is lost. Can we try to keep it?

Since version 0.22.0 there is a new parameter, called mode:

• You can define an octal value, which will be applied to all files and folder, like mode=644
• or you can define a path to a JSON file, which contains the mappings as object:

{
    "644": "**/*.py",
    "777": [ "/*.txt" ]
}

The last matching pattern wins.

Save your mappings to a file, like sftp_mappings.json inside your home directory, e.g., and setup the parameter with the path to that file, like mode=sftp_mappings.json.

Relative paths will be mapped to the user's home directory.

Thanks for the update. But is it possible to read and save the permissions while pull the files from the server and grant the same permissions while push them to the server?

I released a new version 0.23.0, which does try to keep the permission value of an existing file by default now.

This can be controlled by new keepMode parameter.
