I checked /etc/inetd.conf file on my Unix server. I see following entries for ftp:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd\
/opt/hpxt\
/home/tftpdir\
/tmp\
/opt/ignite\
/var/opt/ignite
There is no seperate line for ftpd service name. are these entries okay.
I am not sure what needs to be done in this inetd.conf file to fix my permissions problem.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
i have learned today that when you ftp a file with full write permissions (777) to another destination it loses the w options. so a file that was once -rwxrwxrwx(before FTP) is now -rw-r--r-- (after FTP). why does this happen? and is it configurable?

tftpd - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server
Syntax
/usr/etc/tftpd [ -r pathname ]
Description
The server, supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). The TFTP server is invoked when receives a packet on the port indi-
cated in the TFTP service description. The server is not normally started by default from
The use of does not require an account or password on the remote system. Because of the lack of authentication information, will allow
only publicly readable files to be accessed. This extends the concept of public to include all users on all hosts that can be reached
through the network. This may not be appropriate on all systems however, and its implications should be considered before enabling TFTP
service.
The server should have the user ID with the lowest possible privilege.
Options
-r pathname The pathname can be the choice of the user. For example, would allow only files below to be copied using
Restrictions
This server is known only to be self consistent, that is, it operates with the user TFTP program, Because of the unreliability of the
transport protocol (UDP) and the scarcity of TFTP implementations, it is uncertain whether it really works.
The search permissions of the directories leading to the files accessed are not checked.
