Restrictive umask setting with FTP

David Gwin_2 — Mon, 03 Jan 2000 07:40:31 GMT

I have a HP/735 running HPUX 10.20. User are transferring directories/files to
the system with FTP and the permissions are not getting set correctly. The
permissions that I need are RW for owner, group and other. What I am getting
is RW for owner. The umask setting is correctly set for the user when they are
on the system it is just when they transfer with FTP.

How do I change the FTP umask settings?

The ftpd daemon can have its own umask settings.
have a look at man ftpd(1M). These setting can then be placed in
/etc/inetd.conf, I think the default umask setting is 027 although I could be
wrong here.

Regarding the previous question.
How can I change the umask setting placed /etc/inetd.conf?
I would like to change the ftp files to rw-rw-rw.
