I've seen this problem with NCFTP 2.7.1 on Solaris 8, and I wondering if anyone knew of a fix for this or could tell me if I'm just missing somethinhg obvious. Here's what I tested with ncftp. I have 2 virtual users, userA and userB. UserA puts a file, then when userB ftp's to that location userB can delete the file that userA put, but cannot overwrite the file userA put (put a file with the same name). I have been able to replicate this problem with Unix users. Unix user "foo" puts a file and Unix user "test" cannot overwrite it but can delete it. Here are the file permissions ls -l ftp/pub -rw-r--r-- 1 foo staff 16184 Jan 17 07:42 test3.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 userA ftpusers 35252 Jan 16 16:22 test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 userB ftpusers 35252 Jan 16 16:17 test2.txt We have been able to do the same thing with unix users under ProFTP. Thanks for your help.
