Hi,

I've set up an upload-only account on my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server.

(OpenSSH_4.7p1+sftpfilecontrol-v1.2 Debian-8ubuntu3.2sftpfilecontrol)

In order to make the files readable to whom it might concern, I have
setgid flags on the upload directory, and have set group ownership etc.

I'd like to force all files to be group readable, and I am trying to use
sftpfilecontrol (http://sftpfilecontrol.sourceforge.net/) to manage the
umask on a per-user basis. However, I can't get it to work. (As I am
running a LTS server, I can not upgrade to openssh 5.#)

Does anyone have experience with managing these kind of setups?

Thanks for your help!

I've hacked this type of setup using inotify. You can simplu monitor the
upload directory and once a file is uploaded, it's acl can be changed as
suitable. On my system I simply do chmod g+r
