just curious why you would need execute on files for ssi? It is not a requirement for ssi to work. (except of course, dirs need exec)
It's the recommended method if you don't want to change all your file names ('.shtml', or something), based on the XBitHack directive for the Apache server.
However, your statement made me think differently about the problem. Generally, you don't want your server to parse all files for SSI but on our server, 99% of the pages do contain SSI. So I think I can change my SSI deployment method.
BUT, I'd still like to know if there is a way to configure logging for ssh/sftp so you can track file transfers including names of the files being transferred.
Thanks.
Presuming you actually need the exec bit set for some reason, you could do a few things, like run a script via cron over the web dir's and look for new files (just keep a temp file with the last run dir list & compare) then check ownership (for that user) and make changes as needed.
Or, if the user is always at one IP, you could use TCPwrappers to execute a script when there is an ftp access from that IP address.
hmm, could PAM help with this? -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce

I only need this information for one user. After the file is transferred, a script will reset permissions for the file - so I need the file name. We use sftp for file transfers.
I know that sftp log-ins are listed in /var/log/secure but it's not enough information for what I want to do.
What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks.
BACKGROUND: Our Web editors (human type) use Macromedia Contribute for working on pages. We need 755 or 775 permissions for the pages to use SSI and Contribute is resetting to 664 by default (even though the documentation states it will not change permissions).
I've done some pretty extensive testing with the umask command and it
