ftp permissions

[William Pribble]

I have and identical user account on 2 servers. I want to ftp a file from server 1 ro server 2 using this account. I want the permissions on the ftped file to be 655. How do I change the permissions setting so that all files ftped from my account on server1 to server2 have permissions of 655 after being ftped.

Thanks

have you taken a look at the ftpaccess man pages?

Assume HP-UX 11.X and the wu-ftpd knock-off they use:
man ftpaccess - see the section on upload directives:
upload root-dir dirglob yes|no owner group mode dirs|nodirs

Define a directory with dirglob that permits or denies uploads.

If it does permit uploads, all files will be owned by owner and
group and will have the permissions set according to mode.

Look for the Permission Capabilites of ftpaccess. You will find chmod yes|no typelist.
This may solve your problem.

From the man pages for ftpaccess:

upload root-dir dirglob yes|no owner group mode dirs|nodirs

asin something like this

upload /home/usernamehere * yes usernamehere groupnamehere 0655 dirs

live free or die

In the ftpd man page it states that inorder to use the ftpaccess I need to start ftp /usr/lbin/ftpd -a.
I made this change in inetd.conf and the restarted inetd (inetd -c). When I try to ftp a file to this server I still get the default permissions of 640 on my ftped file.
