i dnt have the root privileges to set the umask.
all my shell scripts are owned by root user, i am logging in as "etcftp". when i run the shell script from command prompt to transfer file from remote server to local server, files transfers successfully and the owner of the file is me (etcftp).
when i try to call the shell script via a web page, the shell script is called and the files are transffered, but the owner of the files transffered becomes "apache".
from web page i am calling the shell script like this.
html page calls a perl script and perl script calls the shell script passing the required arguments to shell script.
i thing sice i am initiating the transfer from web page as "apache" user, the shell scripts are run by the apache.
i want the shell script to run by user "etcftp".
is it possible to change the user from "apache" to "etcftp" before calling the shell script. so that etcftp will call the shell script and the files transffered will be owned by "etcftp"
if any other solution, please suggest.
