Operating Systems Solaris How do files transferred via ftp or sftp gets thier permissions at destination? Post 302754215 by kchinnam on Thursday 10th of January 2013 08:42:39 AM
Old 01-10-2013
Peasant,
I came across two possible solutions to this,, but could not try it yet as it requires root access and better understanding of how this works on solaris 8.

1.
use of defumask to control file permissions discussed here,,
NexentaStor Project - ftpd defumask - NexentaStor Project
it would be nice to get more explanation of how this works and how to do this for a specific user group or folder structure.

2.
Code:
# second one is possibly adding '-u 002'(default umask to ftpd to have 002 !?) to following entry to /etc/inetd.conf.
# But this may have unintended results as it may apply this to all ftp related uploaded files/folders on to the server.
# Since a server has multiple applications running and owned by different groups. how can we control this for a specific application user or group?
ftp stream tcp nowait <user/group?> /usr/sbin/tcpd /wh/sbin/in.ftpd -l -a -u 002

NAME
pam_umask - PAM module to set the file mode creation mask SYNOPSIS
pam_umask.so [debug] [silent] [usergroups] [umask=mask] DESCRIPTION
pam_umask is a PAM module to set the file mode creation mask of the current environment. The umask affects the default permissions assigned to newly created files. The PAM module tries to get the umask value from the following places in the following order: o umask= argument o umask= entry of the users GECOS field o pri= entry of the users GECOS field o ulimit= entry of the users GECOS field o UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login o UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs OPTIONS
debug Print debug information. silent Don't print informative messages. usergroups If the user is not root, and the user ID is equal to the group ID, and the username is the same as primary group name, the umask group bits are set to be the same as owner bits (examples: 022 -> 002, 077 -> 007). umask=mask Sets the calling process's file mode creation mask (umask) to mask & 0777. The value is interpreted as Octal. MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session type is provided. RETURN VALUES
PAM_SUCCESS The new umask was set successfully. PAM_SERVICE_ERR No username was given. PAM_USER_UNKNOWN User not known. EXAMPLES
Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/login to set the user specific umask at login: session optional pam_umask.so umask=0022 SEE ALSO
