Title: umask in a script
Post by: gmish on July 27, 2005, 01:07:31 pm

How do I change the umask in a script that I use when scripting an ftp transfer?

Unfortunately, you cannot change the umask in a script.

Sorry

So how would I do this:

Need to send a file over to our unix server (using an ftp script) and I want this file to be available to all users.

Is there a way to set the umask for the ftp-win to always be 000?  If I do a manual ftp using ftp-win I can change the umask, but it always defaults back to 022.  I'd like it to always be 000 instead of 022.

You change it on the server which is where ftpwin gets it from. If you are using SCO, the file to change is /etc/ftpaccess. You can do a man ftpaccess to find out about the value to set which is defumask. It can be set in a class by class basis or globally. To set it globally, put the following line in /etc/ftpaccess:

defumask 0000
