<p>fpxfer I think keeps the permissions but it only transfers
filepro files.</p>
<p>Unless you trick it by moving the menus into a filepro folder and
making a map and key file it does not transfer them. So if you
trick it then it thinks you just transferred a filepro file and
sets permissions accordingly.<br>
</p>
<p>Menus are specific in some ways to the OS so will have to deal
with them on the far side anyway.<br>
</p>
<p>Filepro always assigned the permissions on the menus to make
menus belong to the user that created them. Has from day one.<br>
</p>
<p>You can tweak the perms on dmakemenu to be 4755 so it will make
the files owned by filepro, do the same to runmenu and it will act
like filepro when they run. I don't usually mess with runmenu on
an customer install, I just make sure all the menus are owned by
filepro. Menus need to be 0644, menu scripts need to be 0755.
This fixes a lot of issues with permissions. Just make sure
filepro can go and write where ever and it all works.</p>
<p>I hope I remembered this correctly, it has been some time since I
has to change this stuff.</p>

<pre wrap="">The usual problem; fpxfer makes a file no one can read, and I'd prefer
not to give out lots of permissions I don't have to .. and the menu item
from which it's called is (of course) running as the user, cause runmenu
isn't setuid.
And in my history, I remember "fixing" that, and finding out why it's like
that, so I won't do it again.
That said, is there a standard method for, at least, specifying looser
permissions to fpxfer for the file it creates? Does it respect umask?
