hello

can someone clear me the pemissions given in ftp while uploading and downloading file from remote server,,(if i am on client)

i guess while downloading we give permissions like 730
ad what about uploading do we give 733?

hmmmm !! looks quite confusing,,
well the scenario is,,as follows...

ON SERVER,,i have a folder /var/ftp,,
i have made a folder which is simran ,, so it will be

/var/ftp/simran ----obvious
and i am giving permissions on simran directory,,and changing the group ,, by chgrp root:ftp simran

Q:: what permission shud i give if i need to upload a file in /simran and download a file from /simran?

many cheers
Sim

I am confused by the question--and I think you may be confusing yourself.

First, what kind of ftp access? If you are allowing anonymous ftp, then I think the user can only access things defined for "others"--ie the third set of permissions. eg--if the permissions are 730, then the anonymous user would have no access.

If an ftp user needs to log in with a username, then the permissions can be defined by associating a group to that username.
