linux how to allow user to read/write/delete files created from root in a specific folder

I use automysqlbackup to backup my mysql database.

The problem is I can only run this program using sudo automysqlbackup. This program dumps the backup into my folder /home/user/backup but theses files are owned by root and when I connect via ftp to this folder I cannot delete or read them.

Is it possible that any files created by root in the folder /home/user/backup can be read/write/deleted by user "user" ?

Or is there a way I can run the automysqlbackup with user "user" ?

Solution

  • Couldn't write a bash script, which calls the backup and then changes the permissions with chmod ?
