I've set up a group called 'www' on my machine. There are two users in
that group 'user1' and 'user2'. When I connect to my FC3 box via ftp
as 'user1' and then upload a file to the web directory the owner and
group of that file are user1.user1. Since this is the case user2 is
able to download the file and make changes to it locally. However,
user2 is unable to upload the file because the file owner and group on
the server is user1.user1.
My question is how do I make it so that when user1 and user2 connect to
the server and upload files they are grouped under the 'www' group and
not under each username group? I created the group www with the
/usr/sbin/groupadd www and then added each user to the the www group
using the /usr/bin/gpasswd -a username www.
Any ideas on how I can get this to work correctly?
Try this: # cd my-upload-directory # chgrp www . # chmod 2775 .
See how that goes.
That worked! However, what is odd is that user1 is using Dreamweaver to upload files and user2 is using Fugu to upload files. When using Fugu it writes the file with permissions of 644. However, if user2 uses Dreamweaver to upload the file it's permissions are set to 664 which is correct.
Any ideas?
thanks, jay
