thanks. no way to change it?


Yes, but you'd have to modify the code for ftpd.  I doubt the FreeBSD 
project would accept such patches[1] as allowing anon users to modify 
file permissions is the sort of thing that can easily create subtle (and 
not so subtle!) security issues.


It may be easier to look at ftp daemons in the ports collection; one of 
them may be usable for you.


[1] This is me guessing, not speaking authoritatively.

ftpd and chmod

2007-04-18 Thread Wojciech Puchar
i use ftpd for anonymous read/write access using -l -m options in 
inetd.conf


chmod isn't allowed (ftp clients says SITE CHMOD not supported), ftpd 
manual page says that ftpd do support SITE CHMOD.


what's wrong?

From the manual:

Note: SITE requests are disabled in case of anonymous logins.

Permitting anonymous remote users to change permissions seems to be a  
remarkably bad idea.  :-)
If you really want to change permissions remotely, why not use SSH as  
an authenticated user?
