Put Permissions on WebDav

marco114 · 08-10-2003, 01:15 PM

I have OS X Server 10.2.6 running. I have WebDav working great, but whenever I copy a NEW file to the server, the permissions of the file are such that it returns "File Not Found" when going to the site.

Is there a way to set the PUT permissions, or, what controls the permissions from a PUT on WebDav? I have tried just about everything.

Everything, including WebDav and the users were set up using OS X's built-in tools, so nothing is really out of the ordinary.

Here's the permissions when I upload a test file:
-rw-r----- 1 www admin ... test.html

Thanks for any help.

I have little experience with WebDAV and zero experience with OS X Server, but your query seems similar to those asking how to set the default permissions for files put on a server via other file-copying protocols. And in those other cases, I believe the answer usually proposed has to do with 'umask' so you might try doing a search in these forums (and elsewhere) for "umask"

Yes.. I have discovered that umask is different on my computer than others.. most people it's set to 002 and mine its set to 022.. but, mine is a stock installation of os x as well. pretty strange.

Other than re-complining, I am outta luck so far.
