Change Umask on FTP home dir

[Gerry Tully]

Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to change the umask on a ftp home directory so when some sends a file over the permissions are 222. The Umask is currently set to 027. I tried the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file but it looks like I'm in the wrong area. Any ideas? Thanks.

Gerry,

You will have to edit the /etc/inetd.conf entry and add the -u option for the ftpd.

Change from

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l

to

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -u

Force Inetd to re-read the config

inetd -c
