ftp permissions

[Jose Luis]

Hi:
(HP-UX 11.0)
When I left files (FTP) with my user in the server, this files has 640 (rw-r-----).
How can I change for 644 (rw-r--r--)?
Thank's in advance

Hi Jose Luis,

You must edit the file /etc/inetd.conf and chenge the line:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -u 022

the "022" is the umask for the ftp connections.

Hope this helps,

Justo.

You can use umask and chmod command while you are on ftp prompt.

Hola:

Not so fast but... check man ftpaccess.

[Jose Luis]

and, its posible do it only for a particular user?
Thank's

Hi Again,

I think that you must use ftpaccess for this, as Carlos tell you.

Check the man ftpaccess.

Regards,

Justo.

No you can't do it for a particular user.
changes made in /etc/inetd.conf affects the system as whole

It is also important to make sure to disable umask for control. In ftpaccess

umask no guest,real

Also, disable chmod commands

chmod no guest,real

Actually, for a particular user, I would leave the ability to use chmod, then give the user a script rather than using ftp directly. In the script, the remote file's permission bits can be set automatically to any value.
