Full Discussion: How do files transferred via ftp or sftp gets thier permissions at destination?
Operating Systems Solaris How do files transferred via ftp or sftp gets thier permissions at destination? Post 302754095 by Peasant on Thursday 10th of January 2013 04:15:35 AM
Old 01-10-2013
I have tried this with default solaris 11 install, but it doesn't work.

Seems like the default service proftpd with it's configuration file /etc/proftpd.conf
So you will need to modify that configuration file and add this or similar directive :
Code:
<Directory> /export/home/test>
Umask 007 007
AllowOverwrite on
</Directory

Now if user writes to /export/home/test it will create rw-rw---- (664).

Per user configuration is done with IFuser directive, but that requires mod_ifsession.c module loaded.

I'm still trying to figure out which ftp server solution actually uses /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess, will get back to you.

Update : Seems like in older versions of Solaris (before 11), ftpd is based on wu-ftpd which uses ftpaccess ftpusers files for configuration.

Hope this helped.
Regards
Peasant.
