How to get proper file permissions on the destination server?

[RoneoOrg]

Hello there,

I've been struggling for the last 3 hours to get correct file permissions on the destination server. I would definitively appreciate your insights.

Description

I would like to deploy some files to a FTP server, without SSH access.

Everything is fine (and this extension is awesome!), the files are properly created but the permissions are inaccurate:

I've set up some dummy files with different permissions (from chmod 777 to 600) and once uploaded with vscode-deploy-reloaded they are all -rw----r--.

Here is my settings.json:

{
  "deploy.reloaded": {

    "packages": [
      {
        "name": "Upload everything",
        "description": "Let's go!",
        "files": [
          "**/*"
        ]
      }
    ],
    
    "targets": [
      {
        "type": "ftp",
        "name": "GoFTP",
        "description": "Go FTP", 
        "dir": "/www/deploy",
        "host": "ftp.cluster020.hosting.ovh.net",
        "port": 21,
        "secure": true,
        "user": "userd",
        "password": "XXXXX"
      }
    ]
  }
}

What was tested so far

I set engine to ftp and ftp-legacy

I tried

• "modes": "755",
• "modes": 755 and
• "modes": [ "**": 644 ]
  (I would prefer not to have to set up each file permission manually BTW)

Additional comments

I'm having a look at the ftp documentation to see if the problem is coming from there, any hint would be super welcome!
