file permission (ftp session) ?

[Nabil Boussetta]

how to modify file permission (at creation of the file) on ftp sessions.

Hi,
you can use umask in an established ftp session; try that before getting or putting anything.

umask don't work on ftp session

hi,

2 ways:

globally, modify ftp daemon in /etc/inetd.conf
or
reset umask settings in a ftp session (this will not work from windows but for some ftp software, it comes with the umask options).

refer to this doc:

Hi,

what type of host is the client and what is the server?
There is also the site chmod command.
How did you try to set the umask and what error did pop up?

greetings,

Michael

Hi Nabil,

This is for all ftp sessions, try editing the /etc/inted.conf

vi /etc/inetd.conf

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

add -u 007 or the umask that you want

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -u 007

regards,
Paul

you can use the upload line in the ftpaccess file to set ownership/group and file creation permissions
