Question
Weird permissions for new created files and folders (SFTP)
Hi,
I know there is pam_umask
that controls permissions for newly created files and folders. The default settings are active in /etc/login.defs
(umask 022) and pam_umask
is activated using the file /etc/pam.d/common-session
.
Well, umask 022
effects, that new files have permissions of 644
and folders 755
.
But something is weird there. When I connect via SFTP, new folders have a permission of 775
(umask 002) and new files the default 644
(umask 022).
Why do they have different permissions? Is there a way to configure different default permissions for files and folders? But I changed nothing of the default configuration and my .profile
is untouched.
Any suggestions?
