Setting the default permissions for FTP

[heprox]

Is there a way for users of a certain group (or maybe by user, or even ALL users), to have a default permissions for every thing they upload? I have a set of users that upload files to an AIX 5.2 server nightly. I want all of these users uploads to be chmod 666 and to have their owner:group changed to something like "chown server:dba filename". I don't want the user to have to execute the changes via FTP for security reason. Could UMASK be used for this? I know I could use a shell script run from root CRON to change all the uploaded files but that seems like the hard way?

For permissions, check "man ftpd"

Hammer,

I read the pages for FTPD, UMASK, and a few others but I'm not seeing the method for accomplishing this. The ideal thing would be to say that anything uploaded into the FTP directory has "this owner" and "this group", irregardless of who actually uploaded it (chown server:dba filename). I realize I could just create a script ran from root cron to change the ownership, but they seems like the hard way?

What's hard about it? Do it once and it's done.

The aix ftp doe not provide the granularity you wanuse FTPpro you can assign groups to have different perms and dirs unique. and log the actions takend during ftp'ing

I thought FTP Pro was for Windows? Do they have an AIX version? Does anyone have a link?

hi ,

you can create ftp user which is owner ( server group dba)

you can edit /etc/inetd.conf

the line

ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd -l
and add -u 000
which should have rw-rw-rw- file perms

so line should read:-

ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd -l -u 000

the refresh inetd

# refresh inetd
