[SunHELP] umask

[DAUBIGNE Sebastien - BOR]

Actually "umask" shell command is only activated whenever=20
a user logs in and spawn a shell. Ftd does not.

 From  "man ftpd"  :

[...]
in.ftpd's umask (which it uses to create  files  during  PUT
     operations) may be adjusted by adding the line
UMASK=3Dnnn
     to /etc/default/ftpd.
[...]

Note that it will apply to all users ftp sessions.

You can however use native ("quote") FTP commands to force=20
it on  a per-user basis, if the FTP implementation allows the=20
SITE command (HPUX's ftpd does, Solaris's ftpd does not).
Here is some example of an ftp session to an HPUX host :

[...]
ftp> quote SITE umask 022
200 UMASK set to 022 (was 027)
[...]
