FTP permissions problem

Philip Dunn_1 — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 08:53:46 GMT

Hi,
I've got a really stupid question that I should know the answer too, but its a friday afternoon and i'm too hot, so easy points on offer!

How can I make a file that is FTP'd inherit the permissions from the directory being ftp'd into?
Failing that how do I set the file permissions for all files being FTP'd by a particular user?

Using HPUX 11.11

Thanks

Phil

I don't think this is possible.

You should be able to do this via the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file. 'man ftpaccess' for more information.

Thanks Patrick,
I realised I hadn't set the -u 000 in inetd.conf!

Told you it is a bad Friday.
