Thank you for the reply and for your the suggestions on the names, the doc does refer to using the umask parameters for controlling permissions, but in researching the umask command I saw the following: - The umask command cannot grant extra permissions beyond what is specified by the program that creates the file or directory. If you need to make permission changes to existing file use the chmod command. - some of the files I am dealing with are replacement files and using umask does not allow it to be changed to 0777(the best I can get to is 0755). I am trying to use the sftp 'chmod' command but not getting good results, I am supplying the 'chmod' command the full path on the linux server, but it is coming back saying the file does not exist, although I think that is a generic error supplied to state it was not successful (Couldn't setstat remote file (chmod): No such file) . The second topic of the file arriving with a 0 length, I did see a post http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1674115 that if a file is owned by someone other than me but they are in the same group (ie. I can read/write to the file), this will cause the put (rput) command to not be allowed to change the permissions on the file, thus getting the 0 length file. I followed the suggestions on the post (in below command line in the code), but I am still receiving the 0 length. Also changed the Unix.pm file to have a buffer value of 4096 and still getting zero length files. 

$sftp->rput($source_ftp_dir, $destination_ftp_dir, copy_perm => 0, cop
+y_time => 0)

$sftp->chmod($full_path_dest_file, 0777) or die "count not chmod file 
+\n" . $sftp->error;
