Setting umask for incoming sftp users

lensem · 12-29-2008, 02:22 PM

We have users that send files to our server via sftp... We normallyhave umask set to 022 but for these files we would like to force a umask of 002...

I've tried to change in the .bash_profile but does not seem to make any difference...

Is there a way to change this???

What I found is that according to the bash man page, .bash_profile is executed for login shells, while .bashrc is executed for interactive non-login shells.

[ftpuser ~]$ cat ./.bashrc
# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions

umask 0002

#EOF
