Hello,

Can i configure Proftpd to chmod a Directory to 777 when it is created.

By default it chmods to 755 whenever i create it . I want to chmod it to 777.

Is it Possible??

Any help!!!!

umask is set to 022 by default, causing created files to have permissions 644 and directories to have permissions 755.

I'm not sure if you can treat directories different from files though.

Never set umask to 000, because that would create files with permissions 777 (world writable)

Thanks for the reply.

Can't I umask 000 to a subdirectory only. like

/home/user/www/main002 --> umask 002
|
|
|
\------------> main777 --> umask 000

like i'll specify the umask in the proftpd.conf

<Directory ~main777>
umask 000
</directory>

just an e.g.

Now that I think of it,
umask 022 sets all directories to be 755 and all files 644

I'm not sure your example would work, my guess would be that the files you ipload in ~main777 will have permissions 666.

From what I read here you could set a second parameter for umask. The second parameter would determine the permissions of directories.

Hope this helps a little
