Re: ftp upload file default permissions

 

ftp upload file default permissions

We have windows users uploading files onto our hpux 11.i server and then running scripts to import that data into a database. we are finding that the default mode permissions prevent our scripts from access the files.
--
we are using ftpaccess and treating each ftp account as part of a guestgroup "dload" to limit their access. Ideally I would like the file to have a 755 access mode. can anyone assist?

Why? Data files shouldn't have execute permission and should be 644, or umask 22.
