VSFTPD permission issue

villumanati · 12-26-2008, 02:37 PM

I am having issues transferring files from the FTP server (vsftpd) that I setup.

If i upload a file to the server and try to download the file I receive a "550 Failed to open file." I check the files and they appear to be -rw-------.

I have another file in the directory that has permissions -rwxrwxrwx.

What can i do so that i can download files that are uploaded to the server?

*Note these files are owned and belong to an ftp user and ftp group that i created.

[root@localhost ~]# umask

2. What is the value of the following parameter in the file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf?

local_umask=
