Solaris

one of the business users is ftping files into unix box using user name ftp_user, where as i am using infa_user to login into same unix box. When i am trying to access those or copy over those files from upload directory it says permission denied.
Though i know the password of ftp_user to manually go to that directory and update the permissions for that particular file. But it has to be automated, i mean when ever the user places or ftpies the files to the upload directory using ftp_user as username the file permissions should be applied automatically to able infa_user to access those files. Could you please me help on this.

Thanks & Regards,
Ariean

At least both a/c IDs should be of the same group. And users in that group should have access permissions

Hi Ariean,

This is security issues.
If u want give permission to others just u have to configure chroot.
otherwise it temparory accessing please do this config.

#vi /etc/default/ftp

FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=YES


Please check it.
what am suggest is chroot configuration is 100% secure and good.

sorry about not providing the environment details. Below is the complete name and version of Unix OS

Code:

SunOS etlq1 5.9 Generic_118558-36 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240

By the way we added the .profile with the "umask" option but still when ever business user ftpies or places a file the other could not able to access it. Could you please tell me what should i do does the username who places the files and other username which access it should belong to the same group. I am naive to unix please guide me.

Code:

vi .profile

Code:

#       This is the default standard profile provided to a user.
#       They are expected to edit it to meet their own needs.

umask 022
MAIL=/usr/mail/${LOGNAME:?}
