UNIX File Attributes Dialog Box

How do I get to this dialog box?

  1. Open a VT terminal session and then open the Transfer Settings dialog box.

    The steps depend on your user interface mode.

    User Interface Mode Steps
    Ribbon On the Session tab, from the Transfer group, click the Transfer Settings launcher:
    Reflection Browser On the Reflection menu, choose Tools and then File Transfer. In the Transfer dialog box, click the Settings button.
    TouchUx Tap the Wrench icon and then under Tools, select File Transfer. In the Transfer dialog box, click the Settings button.

  2. From the Transfer Settings dialog box, select the WRQ/Reflection protocol.

  3. Click the WRQ tab.

  4. Under Host system options, from the System type list, select UNIX.

  5. Click the Attributes button.

The options are:

Option Description
Owner Type the file owner name in this box. The value must correspond to a valid login name or user ID in the specified group.
Group Type the group of the file's owner in this box. The value must correspond to a valid group name or group ID.
Set mode When selected, you're allowed to assign Read, Write, and Execute protection for Owner, Group, Others, and All. If the Set mode option is not selected, permissions are determined by the default creation mode on the host.
Set user ID on execution When transferring an executable file, select to specify that the owner's permissions should determine access when the program is run (instead of using the permissions of the person running the program).
Set group ID on execution Select to specify that the permissions of the login group of the person running the file determine access while the file is running. See chmod (1) in your UNIX documentation.
Save text image after execution If an executable file is prepared for sharing, selecting this option prevents the system from abandoning the swap space image of the program-text portion of the file when its last user terminates. When the next user of a file executes it, the text does not need to be read from the file system (it is swapped in), thus saving time.
