Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users SFTP Resticting Only Uploading Of A File Post 302865459 by metallica1973 on Friday 18th of October 2013 12:54:08 PM
Old 10-18-2013
Ok long story short, I managed to get thing straight with my SFTP server and login. I am still stuck on the umask stuff in preventing a users who uploads a file from allowing another user to download it if they know what the file name is. I have been asked to use only one account to allow users to upload information and prevent others from downloading it. So the goal is to allow an upload of files one time only and thats it. I played around in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

PHP Code:
  ForceCommand internal-sftp -u 0000 
is this what I need or am I envoking this wrong? or did I read umasking wrong, should it be 777(not allowing any permissions). I get confused with chmod stuff.

So should it be:

PHP Code:
  ForceCommand internal-sftp -u 0777 
I tried that and it did do anything?

Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat(3pm) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat(3pm)

NAME
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat - Adaptor for Net::SFTP compatibility SYNOPSIS
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat; my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat->new($host); $sftp->get("foo", "bar"); $sftp->put("bar", "baz"); use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat ':supplant'; my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host); DESCRIPTION
This package is a wrapper around Net::SFTP::Foreign that provides an API (mostly) compatible with that of Net::SFTP. Methods on this package are identical to those in Net::SFTP except that Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes::Compat objects have to be used instead of Net::SFTP::Attributes. If the ":supplant" tag is used, this module installs also wrappers on the "Net::SFTP" and Net::SFTP::Attributes packages so no other parts of the program have to modified in order to move from Net::SFTP to Net::SFTP::Foreign. Setting defaults The hash %Net::SFTP::Foreign::DEFAULTS can be used to set default values for Net::SFTP::Foreign methods called under the hood and otherwise not accesible through the Net::SFTP API. The entries currently supported are: new => @opts extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign constructor. get => @opts extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::get method. put => @opts extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::put method. ls => @opts extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::ls method.
