Hi managers,
I have a little problem setting up an ftp script:
1) I created a user on the target system, with "umask 000" in his .profile.
When I log in as the user and I type "umask", I get "00". So far, so good...
2) When I use ftp on the source system to I login to the target system
(using the
user created above), then something changes to the umask setting:
typing "umask" on the ftp prompt (according to the help info of ftp,
this is
to get the umask from the target system) now says "027", and not
"00".
Questions:
-Where does ftp get this umask setting?
-Is there a way to set it to 00, but NOT from the ftp prompt? (reason: the
script is also
used to reach NT-machines, who do not understand the umask command).
Thanks,
J.
