File permission problem when using FTP

Comment:
When I transfer files from one AIX server to another using FTP command, I want to give the group write permission. I have set up my user's umask to 02, the File Creation Mask to 2 on both servers. But only "get" can work, "put" never can give the group write permission, I alway get rw-r--r-- when using "put". Could somebody give me any suggestion?

When ftp makes the remote connection, it does not execute the login profile of that account, so it is not picking up that umask.
Before you do the put, ftp should allow you to execute a umask command, which of course is executed at the remote site. Works on HP-UX, but not familiar with AIX.
Also, there is an ftp config file that controls ftp behaviour on each server, including umask considerations.

Thank you very much James. I've found the method to set up FTP umask in AIX. ftp> site umask 002 Now I can finish this task. Thanks again.
