RE: ftp / inetd problem

[Randall R Schulz]

Chris F,

Is Marco's symptom possibly another manifestation of the issue with 
permissions that showed up recently with tar? As I recall, Chris, you said 
that file permissions presented during a creat(2) or open(2) call with the 
O_CREAT flag (as modified by the umask) were not being propagated through 
to the permissions assigned to the newly created file.

This came up in the cygwin@cygwin.com thread under the Subject "tar won't 
restore permissions" Andrew Chang (<mailto:awc@bitmover.com>) provided a 
patch to tar in that topic thread.

In response to Andrew's message with the tar patch, Chris F. wrote:

>Recent cygwin snapshots should fix this problem.

But I now that I read Chris's brief reply, I'm uncertain whether the patch 
he mentions is to tar or to Cygwin1.dll, but my guess is that it's the latter.

"Recent cygwin snapshots should fix this problem" would sort of preclude
the need for guessing that it would be a tar patch.

That + Corinna's response:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-04/msg00481.html

really should be pretty clear.

I don't know if this solves the problem mentioned in this email or not.
There is an obvious way to find out if it does.

RE: ftp / inetd problem

[Craveiro, Marco]

hello chris, 

thanks for your reply. i must be stupid, but i still cant see any solutions
to my problem in the faq. let me explain it again: all the files created via
ftp have the permissions rw-r--r-- and i need them to be rw-rw-rw-. i have
used an ftpd wrapper script setting the umask to 666 but the files
transferred still have the same permissions. chmod works properly via ftp
and if i logon via telnet, the user has CYGWIN=ntsec. i also exported this
var on the script. what am i doing wrong? (or where is tfm, 'cause i dont
mind reading!)

i'm using nt4.0 with cygwin 1.3.10 on an NTFS partition.

cheers

RE: ftp / inetd problem

Hello Robert,

sorry to post a "me too" but i have been having lots of permission problems
with ftp and inetd
(see "possible permissions bug" a few days ago). unfortunately no one
replied to my posts... when you are at the console of the machine, does
chmod work properly?

ftp / inetd problem

[Robert N Barnett]

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 MYMACHINE 1.3.10(0.51/3/2) 2002-02-25 11:14 i686 unknown

I have a problem: when I ftp to MYMACHINE from anywhere, including
"ftp localhost".  Usually I can get or put only one file, then
any further get or put results in "Permission denied."  

To make it even stranger, occasionally the "Permission denied." 
happens on the first try instead of the second, or very rarely I 
can get or put several files before the problem occurs.

There is no problem with ftp _from_ MYMACHINE, and telnet works 
correctly to or from.  ssh, and sftp, scp all work normally.
