ProFTP Group Permission problem

[filmo]

Hi,

I want files that are uploaded to have a different Group id from the User Id.

Assuming that the normal ftp user is ‘admin’, using the stock settings a file uploaded to a directory would end up looing like:
[code:1:c491dee2f4]
-rw-r–r– 1 admin admin 2343 Jul 15 10:37 test.mp3
[/code:1:c491dee2f4]

Using Umask inside a <Directory> config, I can get the file to become
[code:1:c491dee2f4]
<Directory /var/www/html/media>
Umask 0002
</Directory>
result:
-rw-rw-r– 1 admin admin 2343 Jul 15 10:37 test.mp3
[/code:1:c491dee2f4]

However, when I add the GroupOwner directive, nothing changes. In /etc/group, I’ve defined ‘www3’ as a new group:

www3:x:605:admin3,apache

and modifyed the above directive as follows:

[code:1:c491dee2f4]
<Directory /var/www/html/media>
Umask 0000
GroupOwner www3
</Directory>
[/code:1:c491dee2f4]

But when I upload a file, it still shows up as:

-rw-rw-r– 1 admin admin 2343 Jul 15 10:37 test.mp3

instead of the desired:

-rw-rw-r– 1 admin www3 2343 Jul 15 10:37 test.mp3

Any thoughts? Am I using the right directive for Proftpd — version 1.2.8

Other notes: These directives are encapulated in a <VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx> directive. (I’ve tried using the ‘group’ name from the ‘virtual host’ also, but no luck either.)

I don’t understand why you need a different group.
Where is the file uploaded?
