Yes, this is possible. Requires the sys admin and the user to do a few
things. If its a one time/infrequent deal then let them telnet and
chmod, if not read on....
In /etc/inetd.conf add a line like this
ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd -u 777
In /etc/services add a line like this
ftp 5021/tcp
I have just picked a port number for the above, can be any valid port
number.
You can leave the existing entries for ftp in the above files as is for
regular users who want to have the default values for umask.
Recycle inetd
stopsrc -s inetd ; startsrc -s inetd
The user, depending on the ftp program being used will need to specify,
the port number - 5021 in this case. If coming from another UNIX system
then the ftp command has a parameter to specify the port number.
For more info look at man pages for ftp and ftpd.
