I posted this on the WEB400 list yesterday but got no takers on an answer. Perhaps I can rephrase this so it is applicable to Midrange-L.
How do IFS file permissions get set? Below is my post to WEB400 where 
files are uploaded to the IFS.  The application can list the file, 
providing a link for the user to open the file, but when the file is 
opened (or attempted to open) I get an access denied message.
Perhaps an idea on how to monitor for files placed in this folder and 
then a program that grants READ permissions?  That seems a little 
awkward but I guess that would be a possibility.
Don't files placed in an IFS folder "inherit" the folder permissions?  
Is there a way to do this?  The rest of the post is what was on WEB400:
Any idea how permissions can be set for files uploaded through a web 
page to the IFS?
We are running PHP in PASE and the file gets created with the following 
permissions:
            Data     --Object Authorities--
User        Authority  Exist  Mgt  Alter  Ref
*PUBLIC *NONE X X X X
QTMHHTP1    *RW          X     X     X     X

If we change permissions to *PUBLIC *R then we can access the file. There was a solution in the archives for Apache/Websphere but it doesn't apply to a PHP server.
Any idea of how you could accomplish the change of permissions?  Since 
*PUBLIC has *RW permissions on the folder I thought files copied to that 
folder would inherit those permission but I guess I assumed too much.
Ideas?

Thanks,

Pete Helgren
