Permissions Issue
Hi Experts,

I have one ftp user which will FTP the files to two subdirectories of some other user.

Say i have one user "xyz" . It FTP's the file to the directory of "abc" user. I have added xyz user in abc group.


-rw-r--r-- 1 xyz abc 0 Jul 26 10:05 mo
-rw-r--r-- 1 xyz abc 0 Jul 26 11:06 jo

Now the problem is i have one utility which doesn't work on file owned by any other user than abcSmilie.

So, what should i do in my script so that it will change the permissions of the incoming file.

As abc is not the root user and it cant change the permissions for xyz user.

In need of urgent help.

Thanks.

ftpconfig

ftpconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     ftpconfig(1M)

NAME

       ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP

SYNOPSIS

       ftpconfig [ftpdir]

       ftpconfig -d ftpdir

DESCRIPTION

       The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server
       by specifying the user name  ftp or anonymous and the user's email  address as password. The anonymous users  are  logged  on  to  the  FTP
       Server  and  given  access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has  its own minimal system
       files.

       This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the  ftp  user  account,
       creating  device  nodes,  copying  /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data.  The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to
       prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server.	The anonymous file area will be placed	under  ftpdir.	If  the  ftp  user
       account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This
       command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded.

OPTIONS

       -d	Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when  creating  guest
		FTP user accounts.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       ftpdir	The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion

       1	Improper usage of the command

       2	Command failed
