Permission (umask) for ftp

[Federico_28]

Ciao,
we are sendig some files via ftp from a Windows Server 2003 to a HP-UX 11.00 and everytime our permission are changing to rw-r-

We woul like to keep the same permission we have before starting the ftp.
Is there something I should do on unix server regarding ftp?
Regards

Hello,

when you connect in ftp on unix machine, the first things you have to do is typing 'bin'.

otherwise check your umask in your user's .profile on unix machine

I would think it depends on the sort of FTP server you are using, and how you configured the upload directories.
For instance for the HP-UX vanilla FTP server have a look at "man ftpaccess" and the upload directive.

You should also be aware that, as a default, ftp removes execution permissions. It is to prevent anybody to put a mailicious file, replacing a command...

You can use -u option for ftpd in inetd conf, but think about security problems.
