FTP permission..

[Balakumar M]

Hi All,
While FTP a file in one of our server we are facing permission problem, when I try to get a file from other server through FTP the file permission is 640 but we want 644. where I have to change the permission for incoming file? the umask value is 022. Please guide me to solve the problem.

thanks

When you have your ftp session open, what does umask return?

I think the default umask for ftpd is 027. Type 'umask 022' from your ftp prompt to change it.

In .profile umask 027.

Hi:

The default umask for the ftpd daemon is 027. This can be changed by adding the '-u ' argument in /etc/inetd.conf as :

# ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -u 022

Once changed, restart with:

# /usr/sbin/inetd -c

...JRF...

If you are running wu-ftpd, JRF's fix will not work. The umask for wu-ftpd is set in $FTPHOME/etc/ftpaccess!

Just my $.02! :)

I'll advertize again and say look at "http://www.invenioeng.com/systems/ftpd_faq.html" for information on configuration and control files for ftpd!
