I have my own server. When client uploaded a file to my server through FTP, the permission of the file uploaded is 755. It means if client uploaded a file to my server, client cannot modify the file uploaded to server immediately and have to wait for me to permit the file uploaded to 777.

How can I make the file uploaded from client with permission 777 so that client can modify the file after uploaded.

I am using ubuntu 10.04 and vsftpd FTP server.

  • What are the permissions of the folder the files are going into?

  • Do you want that for all files or just for one / some?

    More to the point, are you sure you want everyone to be able to modify everyone else's files?

    @edisonTHK STOP. Do absolutely nothing until you go read the Wikipedia article on Unix file permissions and fully understand what they mean. Blindly changing file permissions like they're some kind of magic voodoo ritual is NOT the way to administer a server. You'll wind up breaking things, creating security holes, or both.

"file_open_mode" is the option you're looking for, check it out in the VSFTPD man pages. Also keep in mind that the "local_umask" option is also affecting the actual permission.

This should do the trick.

local_umask=000
file_open_mode=0777
