Changes to ftpaccess file not effecting subsequent ftp sessions

Hi All,
I have a restricted ftp user set up on 11.0 and I would like to have the file permissions set on transfers for that user to be read,write and change for all users. I made changes to the ftpaccess file (upload) and then issued a inetd -c and everytime I transfer files for this user The correct permissions are not taking effect. My inetd.conf file has been changed for the -a option. Any clues?? I've checked this forum for everything And haven't seen a similar problem.

Thanks,
Chris

Try adding -u 000 to the end of the ftp line in inetd.conf, and reload.

This should set the umask of the ftpd processes, so it doesn't remove any access bits.
