You should carefully consider the security implications of allowing
such a command.  If your files are uploaded as root, then you don't
want remote users setting the setuid and execute bits.  Apologies if
this is obvious to you.

CHMOD and CHOWN Commands to Change Rights

[Franz Stumpner]

Hello!

I'm new to this list.

I want to change the rights (access/owner) of a file after I've 
successfully transferred it to the ftp-server.
Most FTP-Servers and FTP-Clients understand the CHMOD command where 
file-rights can be modified.
If I use the CHMOD command within the apache ftp-server, an 
errormessage Access Denied appears.
Is the apache ftp-Server unable to handle CHMOD Commands or is my 
configuration bad?


I'm using Apache FTP on Debian Sarge Linux, after I transferred files to 
the FTP Server the owner of the file is always root:root and readable 
for owner and group.


Thanks for help.
