    Vsftpd not following permisions

    Hello,

    am having a strange problem with VSFTPD that I Can't figure out,

    lets say I log into the FTP and the parent folder has 777 permisions, well I create a new folder and this new folder has 755,
    I have changed the umask to 077 and well suddenly my new folders on creation has 700, I commented it out and it did the same,

    so I have no clue what is going on

    how can I set VSFTPD to follow actual local permisions on the server itself rather than do its own permision on folder creation

    thank you

    Luc

    Use local_umask=022 (or whatever your umask is on your system) in your vsftpd.conf. Make sure to restart vsftpd after editing this file.
