Hi I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.4 with the ISPConfig 3 (as per your guide) and for some reason, even though I create the Umask file in /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/ and set the octal values to "000 000" my uploaded files still come through as 644? My ftp client is set to use the permissions from the server so it's not like they are being changed. When I issue: 'service pure-ftpd-mysql restart' it shows: Restarting ftp server: Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-mysql-virtualchroot -l mysql:/etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf -l pam -u 1000 -b -E -D -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -8 UTF-8 -U 000:000 -H -A -Y 1 -B So the 000:000 umask is being requested. Anybody ever try to change the default permissions to 000:000 and had success? Many thanks MB
There is no pure-ftpd.conf file on my box. Unless you count the one from fail2ban? This installation uses the pure-ftpd wrapper config where you uses separate config files in the directory /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/. The separate files are: AltLog FSCharset PureDB BrokenClientsCompatibility MinUID TLS ChrootEveryone MySQLConfigFile Umask DisplayDotFiles NoAnonymous UnixAuthentication DontResolve PAMAuthentication PAMAuthentication is set to yes UnixAuthentication is set to no ChrootEveryone is set to yes Can anyone hazard a guess as to why I can't get the Umask of 000:000 to work? Thanks MB
Have you tried a different umask? So does it just ignore the 000:000 umask or does it ignore all custom umasks?
I've tried a umask 777:777 and it does indeed set new file permissions to 000. I just can't get past 644 (133:133). Funnily enough, when I add a directory it takes the 777 permissions as requested. It's just the files that refuse to go past 644!
Ok, then it is not a issue with the way you configured it. most likely some kind of security limitation in pure-ftpd. Maybe someone in the pure-ftpd mailinglist can give you some hints on how to bypass this.
