Hello!
One of our scripts is using ncftpput to automatically upload a file. The script
invokes ncftpput with a -U flag to explicitly set the umask.
Though the file is successfully uploaded (with the default umask) there is with
a warning:
% ncftpput -U 0 localhost / /COPYRIGHT
ncftpput could not set umask: server said: Error (no message)
and the server logs the following:
127.0.0.1 - - [18/Jul/2011:17:16:06 -0400] "SITE UMASK 0" 504 - "-" "-"
Looking inside the code (ftp_commands.c), I see, that the SITE-command is not
implemented:
ftp_hook_cmd("SITE", *NULL*, FTP_HOOK_LAST,
FTP_NEED_LOGIN | FTP_TAKE1 | FTP_EXTENSIBLE,
"<sp> site-cmd [ <sp> arguments ]");
I wonder, if that's intentional -- perhaps, for reasons of security -- or simply
because nobody got to it yet. Please, advise. Thanks! Yours,
-mi
