SFTP dir/file Permission issue


Hi All,

A user complaints me whenever he is creating directory its permission get set to 750. He requested to change his permission from 750 to 770 , i check his profile and found that he is a FTP user only.

Please let me know how can i change its permission setting so that whenever he creates any file or directory the permission should be 770.

Below is the o/p for his /etc/passwd and .profile

ftpftp:x:109:209:ftp id:/home/ftp/ftpftp:/bin/false

# more .profile
# This is the default standard profile provided to a user.
# They are expected to edit it to meet their own needs.

MAIL=/usr/mail/${LOGNAME:?}
umask 007

Re: SFTP dir/file Permission issue

A reasonable value for UMASK is 022, which will cause files to be created with permissions of 644 (rw-r--r--) and directories to be created with permissions of 755 (rwxr-xr-x).

A more secure value for UMASK is 066, which will cause files to be created with permissions of 600 (rw-------) and directories to be created with permissions of 700 (rwx------).

how To calculate permissions which will result from specific UMASK values, subtract the UMASK from 666 for files and from 777 for directories.

Thanks,
Johnson
