Re: Ownership of FTPd file(s)

[Scott Klement <web400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe the IBM i FTP server will carry over permissions from the 
directory that you FTP into.

Now, I'm not exactly sure what you are doing.  Are you FTPing a save 
file?  A ZIP file?  a TAR file?  Or are you sending each file, one-by-one?

Assuming you're sending them one-by-one, FTP should give permissions 
based on the directory.  So if /www/ABC/htdocs is owned by qtmhhttp,
and qtmhhttp has *RWX authority to that directory, then the files you 
put into it should also be owned by qtmhhttp and have *RWX authority.

Is that not what you've found?
