Re: Ownership of FTPd file(s)

(i've not tested this...) but in this article it talks about browser (IE) making a connect to ftp thru http may be proxied - need to chg browser settings to truly talk to the ftp server(see middle of the article).

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?

I can FTP a web site (a group of files and directories) to /www/ABC/htdocs.

It works pretty easily. However, in order to navigate amongst the
folders with a browser without getting 403 Forbidden messages I have to
sign in with wrklnk and navigate to the folder and add or modify the
authorities on all of the objects for QTMHHTTP to *RX.

It occurs to me that this is probably not how it was all designed.
However I have not found any other way to do this.

Is there a way in the FTP process to fix this?

or, or, or?

Thanks
