ftp file creation perms (urgent)

[cgswong]

Hi all,

I need some help with an annoying problem I'm having. I'm trying to make any file that a user creates (especially files ftp-ed) have the same permissions (rw for group and world especially) as that of the user. The problem is, the files that come over via ftp using my ftp user get created with the permissions rw-r--r--

I have set the umask to 011 in the user's .profile so what am I missing? Please help, this is urgent.

Thanks and regards.

Are you using the Solaris ftpd? If so, try installing the wu-ftpd. This daemon is much richer in features and security. It will give you the option of setting umask for the FTP users.

There is a great howto guide for Solaris at

Thanks, I've heard a lot about about wu-ftp. I think I might just try it out when I get the time.
