The SFTP Watcher Trigger will watch only the files and folders that match the selected permissions. The user can set the Trigger to process each permission individually. Available options are to trigger the Task irrespective of the permission state (ignore this permission), only if the permission is set, and only if the permission is not set.
Files and directories in Linux have a standard set of access permissions that control which files can be accessed by whom.
There are different sets of permissions for the file and directory owner, group, and other users. Each set consists of read, write, and execute permissions as well as a special permissions set (i.e., set user ID, set group ID, and sticky bit).
