Ftp – Delete folders with FTP

ftppermissions

I have client who is the owner of a printer shop. I have configured for him an FTP Server where clients can drop him big files they want to print.

I have created several FTP users. He has some premium clients and some regular clients. Regular clients are told to use the FTP user clients. The owner has a folder called clients with the next permisions. 

printshopowner# ls -la
drwx-----x 9 printshopowner printshopowner   4096 Aug 17 08:07 .
drwx-wx-wx 9 printshopowner clients          4096 Jan 19 10:24 clients
drwxrwx--- 2 premiumuser    printshopowner 4096 Jan 19 08:13 premiumuser

It is working fine. A Client can upload files without seeing other clients' files. Problem is when a client uploads a folder. The FTP user printshopowner can not delete these folders. 

[printshopowner/clients]# ls -la
drwx-wx-wx 9 printshopowner clientes         4096 Jan 19 10:24 .
drwx-----x 9 printshopowner printshopowner   4096 Aug 17 08:07 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 clients        clients          4096 Dec  3 11:57 folderA

Any idea how should I configured the FTP dropbox to achieve the desired functionality?

You can try setting local_umask in vsftpd.conf

local_umask = 0002

Also consider looking into file_open_mode. This controls the permissions with which uploaded files are created with umasks being applied on top of this value.
