- Is there any way, using the standard ftpd which one might receive with
- Ultrix or SunOS, for example, to control the permissions on incoming files?
- I just did a sample put (from a PC), and the file was stored with
- permisions of rw-rw-rw- (wide open).
-
- We're developing an application where we need to accept files via ftp.
- (Not anonymous; they're merely coming from another computer with limited
- TCP capabilities.) I'd like these files not to be world-readable. I
- know I can limit permissions on their directory, but can I limit
- the permissions on the files themselves?
-
- I can't find anything in any manual that describes how this might be done.
