Is there a way to create a .zip archive and retain the file permission? Here is what I am trying to do is download files from one server onto my local machine then create a zip archive to move the files to another server. once I upload and extract on the new machine via cpanel's file manager all my files end up with permissions=600, which is not what they were on the first server. I am currently using WinRAR to create the .zip archive. Do I need to be using a different compression program? I know I could just change the permissions manually, but it is over 150 files and I am working on an archive that will allow me to move the files quickly and easily. any assistance would be appreciated. cheers.
I don't think you can preserve the permission but since you are on linux host, request for shell for at least 30 minutes and login to chown everything
