ftp upload problem

[jthenry]

When users upload, the files are given permissions of rxw------. This makes it difficult for other users to download the files as only the owner has access to it. How can I change it so that the default permissions are rwxr-xr-x?

My box is RH 8.0, VSFTP, and users are chrooted.

Thanks
John.

Thanks,

But how can I set it so that the permissions are set at 755 by default when uploaded. Without having the users chmod each file.

You need to set the default 'umask' setting in vsftpd.conf. I don't run this particular program, but to paste from a post (Google!):

# Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
# if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
local_umask=022

Learn to love the Google

Thanks,

local_umask=022 worked perfectly.

Cheers,
