I have several directories under an upload directory where differnt users upload their files (with exxactly the same file name every week) using their own user ids.
There is a requirement that once any user uploads the file I have to clean that file and remove extra whitespaces and unreadable characters.
I have a cleanup script which runs under an admin user (basically a group owner user say xyz) account which has access to all these directories.
Once I do the clean up the owner of the uploaded file gets changed to admin user and then next time when any user tries to upload their file again they get permission denied error as the file with same name exist with different owner.
Question is
1. How to give access to the individual user to over write the file own by the admin user or
2. How not to change the owner of the file to the admin user while cleaning up the file.
Note: All the users are part of the same group whose owner is the admin user mentioned above. i.e. in the /etc/group file all the user ids who uploads the file are listed under the group id
Code:
xyz:!:212:userid1,userid2,userid3
my cleanup script runs as user xyz and the ownership gets changed to xyz and then the userid1, userid2 and userid3 are not able to upload their files.
the owner of the upload directory is userid1
Code:
abc 100 5/21/2011 rwxrwxr_x userid1
before upload
HTML Code:
abc.csv 100 5/21/2011 rw_r__r__ userid1
after upload and clean up
HTML Code:
abc.csv 100 5/21/2011 rw_r__r__ xyz
Next time when user userid1 tries to upload gets permission denied error.
Hope I am not confusing here.

dput
dput(1) General Commands Manual dput(1)NAME
dput - package upload tool for Debian
SYNTAX
dput [options] [host] package.changes ...
DESCRIPTION
This is a tool for uploading Debian packages into the archive. You may specify to which host it should upload the file by passing it an
host argument. If omitted, dput uses the host specified by default_host (or, historically default_host_non-us) configuration option. Also
you have to pass the program one or more name of package.changes files and then they will be sequentially uploaded.
This program will then upload the package for you into the archive, using a selected upload method. Currently dput supports ftp, scp,
rsync, http, https, and local. The method scripts have been split from the main script so it is easy to add new methods. Look in
/usr/share/dput/ for examples.
Should something go wrong with your upload to destinations using the Debian upload queue daemon (e.g. ftp-master), you can remove files
from the upload queue with dcut(1).
OPTIONS -c, --config - define a config file to use.
-d, --debug - activate debugging mode, helpful if bugs occur.
-D, --dinstall - do a dry run of dinstall after the upload.
-f, --force - force an upload of an already uploaded package.
-h, --help - print help information and exit.
-H, --host-list - print the lists of hosts that dput knows about.
-l, --lintian - run lintian before the upload.
-U, --no-upload-log - do not write a .upload log file after uploading.
-o, --check-only - check only the package and do not upload.
-p, --print - print the configuration that dput is using.
-P, --passive - use passive ftp instead of active. Note that passive ftp is the default unless specified otherwise in the configuration
file.
-s, --simulate - simulate an upload only.
-u, --unchecked - don't check GnuPG signature on the changes file.
-e, --delayed - Upload to a DELAYED queue, rather than the usual Incoming. This takes an argument from 0 to 15. Note that a delay of 0 is
different from no delay at all.
-v, --version - print version information and exit.
-V, --check-version - check if the user has already installed and tested the package before putting it into the archive.

This program doesn't depend on any environment variables. But if the variable USER is set, it will be used.
