ORIGINAL QUESTION:
I have a problem in transfer files using ftp, the files that I 'put' to
the ftp server are always created with permissions -rw-rw-rw which
is not what I want. Everytime after the ftp, I have to telnet to
the host and chmod the files to -rw-r--r--.
Is there method to change the default permissions to -rw-r--r--?
SOLUTIONS:
1.
Use a wrapper on /usr/etc/in.ftpd,
Wrapper: /usr/etc/in.ftpd.umask
#!/bin/sh
umask 022
exec /usr/etc/in.ftpd.umask $*
Remember to chmod +x on the wrapper.
Change ftp entry in /etc/inetd.conf
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/in.ftpd.umask in.ftpd
2.
For wu-ftpd user, use option -u022. In /etc/inetd.conf, writes
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/ftpd in.ftpd -l -u022
3.
Add 'umask 022' to /etc/rc to cause all daemons started by /etc/rc
to have umask 022. Subsequently, /etc/rc.local, inetd, in.ftpd will
have umask 022.
4.
Try SITE CHMOD command in ftp.
