Then you're using the wrong system for the task. The OS can't make assumptions about "what the ownership/modes of a file should really be, if an application is telling it they should be different". This is why more mature FTP daemons allow modes/ownerships to be set on upload. The OS already: - gives a new file group of the containing directory so it is easy to create "shared files" in a "shared directory" - has a default umask that is world readable - allows changing a users umask The application (sftp) overrides all this and now you're expecting the OS to override that again. Don't think so ;) -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
