Re: changing default ftp umask in redhat 3.0

The ftp command line (client) provides the umask command. The vsftpd.conf file allows you to specify local_umask/anon_umask values.
Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?

ftp> user kumarts

Password:

ftp> umask
200 Your current UMASK is 022
ftp> umask 133
200 UMASK set to 0133
ftp> umask
200 Your current UMASK is 0133
ftp>


Editing the /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf will effect all the file transfers(all the ftp users)
