Issue/Introduction

File transfers with Unix/Linux Agents changes the ownership of the files to "root" - Expected behavior is that the "user" used in Login Object of the JOBF should attain the ownership.

Additionally the use of relative paths in file transfer jobs (JOBF) do not work for non-root users if the agent process is started as "root".
