SuSE Linux running under z/VM 4.4

[Alyce Austin]

Hello,

I am running SSHD with SFTP as the subsystem. I have setup
groups with permissions to access other users data. This appears
working; however, when users FTP, the permissions are not inherited.
What do I need to tweak on the system side so that whatever permissions
you get on SSHD are the same for FTP?

Thanks for your help,
Alyce

SFTP and FTP are two totally different animals (different daemons,
even). To complicate things even more, sftp and SFTP are different
things (sftp is ssh-based, SFTP is FTP over SSL). Which one(s) are you
using?

Most FTP and SFTP daemons use the user's 'umask' value (ie whatever the
user would have gotten when creating a file directly). sftp (note case)
should do the same unless you tell it to ignore permissions.

Hi,

We are using the sftp-server..ssh-based.

Thanks,
Alyce
