umask for an ftp account
Hi,

I have an ftp account which is used for transferring files to a UNIX box.
eventhough the permissions on the source box for the files are 777, when it reaches the destination node via this ftp transfer the permissions is getting changed to -rw-r-----

can someone please help me?

umask set on the destination server is 002

-> umask set on the destination server is 002
Where?

Here is what I would do... (set a default umask for ftp)
In /etc/inetd.conf:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -u 007 #(or 077...)

You may not get exactly what you want on permissions.

See man page for umask AND Perderabo's UNIX File permissions

See ftp permissions problems help for setting umask on ftpd.

Thanks vbe and RTM.

It seems I will have to check with my UNIX admin as the user is 'root'

byfusp01 $ ll inetd.conf
-r--r--r-- 1 root sys 5462 Jun 29 2006 inetd.conf

currently it is set as:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -a

Anyways many thanks for the valuable information.

Cheers
