How do I force a group on directories created by ftpd?

[Anonymous]

I have an FTP root direcotory at /Volumes/HD1/FTP/. The permissions for FTP are owner: “admin”(R/W/X), group: “ftp”(none), everyone(none).

The server does not have anonymous access. Each ftp user has a home directory inside /Volumes/HD1/FTP/
The ftp users are NOT members of the group ftp. That group is for other users that have privileges to read this directory over afp://
The problem is that when ftp users create sub-directories in their home folder the directories are created with the these permissions: owner:”ftp-user1″(R/W/X), group: “ftp”(R/X) and everyone(R/X).

How can I give members of group ftp write access to these directories?

You can write a shell script and set it up as a cron job that will chgrp/chown/chmod any new folders that are created on the HD1 volume.

Could you please elaborate on how I would do that?

Ehh, I dunno. Just something that other people have recommended. Maybe someone else can enlighten us.
