File permission on Linux

[ndqccxx]

Hi all,

I have a File Server running Fedora 6. Could I ask you some questions about File permission:

- How to set permission to the child folders & files the same as the father folder.
- How to set new created folders & files automatically inherit permission from their father folder.

Thanks a lot!

Something like

chmod 660 /path/to/files/* -R
chown username:groupname /path/to/files/* -R

should get you going. The -R means recursive sub directories.

Thanks fr0thy,

how do I set new files or folders automatically inherit permissions from their father folder?

There's no way to do this, but you can read on umask (man umask) to know how to stablish permissions mask on a given session (or forever by setting them into your ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile
