using ftpaccess

[itai weisman]

hi ppl
i managed to use ftpaccess file to specified specific umask on upload direcotry using the following line:
upload /DiskBill/shells/MED/ * yes billday users 0666 dirs
(user "billday" home directory that defined our nis enviorment is /DiskBill/shells)
i managed to set the mask of the files created on the user's home directory, and i want now to change the mask of the subdirecotries under this user home directory (in thos example, the directory DiskBill/shells/MED/).
is it possible?
if so, how?

Did you put following and try??

upload /DiskBill/shells/MED/ * yes billday users 0666 dirs

is.
it doesn't work.
it uses the defualt mask of root (as it do without ftpaccess file)

If I understand you correctly you'd like to set permissions on new ftp created directories.

You can use '-u' option to ftpd in /etc/inetd.conf to set new umask (default is 027). This would apply to all ftp directories regardless of location.

Second option is to download WU-FTP 2.6 from www.software.hp.com, which has ability to set directory mode in the upload directive via optional d_mode field (see below).

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