Hi, folks. Just a question:
Who handles permissions when gFTP client creates a directory? The client or the server? Cant' find a quick answer on google:( Thanks!

This is just a suggestion, both. At first the FTP server checks if the logged in user has permission to do this action (reading, writing, deleting, ...) and next of course the OS also checks if you have permission to do that, but normally the user who started the ftp-server is the user that executes that task and needs permission, so if you try to delete /dev, if would fail, cause the OS says no, although the FTP server could say yes.
Best regards,
Regards

I believe it must be the server, following either default umask settings, or specific ones mentioned in the server's configuration file.

To clarify, I was talking about the end permissions that appear on the directories that are created.
