Hi,
Look for the file "fstab" in the /etc folder and open it with your favorite
text-editor.
Now look for a line like:
/dev/hda8 /mnt/vfat vfat defaults 0 0
and change it to:
/dev/hda8 /mnt/vfat vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0
This will give read/write/execute permision to all users, which is ok

Do you are using acl's with the filesystem? ("getfacl" and "setfacl"

I don't believe what you are trying to do is possible as you are correct

Ahhh yes.. I completely forgot about this. I've messed around with rsync long ago.
It worked reliably and supported ssh.
Shouldn't be all that tough to install rsync on the remote system if they don't
already have it. I'd recommend it.

It's good software, and so is the ncftpd server. Unfortunately, the
latter isn't open source, but it's free for personal use.
Hmmm... Just tried it with sftp and no can do.
Returns an error stating that it cannot download/upload a directory.
Only thing then would be to tar/gzip then sftp the file or scp with the
-r option.

ncftp IS ftp. Comparing it to scp doesn't make sense.
Why not use sftp instead? You are not required to input the path and
it's very much like what you are doing now. I like openssh personally.

Better ways to do this. One is to create identical users on both machines
with the same password and then run your scripts with that ID, I did this
myself for downloads from a partner. Better still use ssh with RSA

Firstly,try man chmod.
What command options did you use with chmod?
Make it 755 which is all permissions to owner,read & execute to group

Sam,
Thanks. That solved the permissions problem. However, I was then getting
grumblings about being read only, not being able to see the files in
Midnight Commander. On a hunch, I eliminated the uid and gid options
and changed the rw option to w. The subject line in fstab now looks
like this
You need the option user.
