umask for ftp

[Kerry Fay]

Is there any way to set the umask for files
that are ftp'd to the server to 777
automatically ?
Or files that are ftp'd by specific users
to 777 automatically?

Hi Kerry,

Take a look at the thread below,

http://us-support.external.hp.com/cki/bin/doc.pl/sid=d045a03f10fc548b3d/screen=ckiDisplayDocument?docId=200000015093424

Hope this helps.

Kerry:

Edit '/etc/inetd.conf' to add '-u nnn' to the 'ftpd' daemon declaration, where "nnn" is the umask setting for the 'ftpd' daemon you want, something like:

# ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -u 022

Then restart 'inetd' with:

# /usr/sbin/inetd -c

This will establish a default umask for all ftp transfers.

Regards!

Here's a thread with info on setting the mask per location (upload directory) that may suit you better.
