Ftp permissions

[Fabrizio_10]

Hi again,

I meet this "problem" with ftp server.
When I upload the files, I see the permissions of them, set to: -rw-r-----

My question: is possible to set them to -rw-rw---- automatically, without use chmod after upload ?

Thanks

see man ftpd
you add the -u umask to the ftpd entry in /etc/inetd.conf

Thanks Stefans,

I've added -u 002 to my ftp row into inet.conf and now works fine.

Just for curiosity: if I try ftp to both unix machine, it keeps the correct permission.
If I try to put a file in ftp from a windows machine it assign casual permission.
Correct me if I wrong: this fact because windows doesn't know any about permission ?

Thanks

Hi Fabrizio,
if you use /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess - which I think you do - you can use the "upload" keyword for defining the "mode" of uploaded files; please, consult the man page for ftpaccess.

E.g.
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -u 002 -a

E.g.

# specify the upload directory information
upload /var/ftp * no
upload /var/ftp /incoming yes root daemon 0600 dirs
upload /var/ftp /bin no
upload /var/ftp /etc no
