How to make the newly created files inherit the directory's permissions...? [duplicate]
I need to give permission to a directory in such a way that, the newly created files should inherit the same permissions as the directory.
- You may find a duplicate for this question, but it doesn't seems to be answered properly. So please update.
You could assign a group ownership to a parent
folder and then make inside files inherit properties.
Assigning group ownership could be set by
sudo chmod -R 660 /path/to/parent
sudo chown -R myself:somegroup /path/to/parent
The group ownership can be inherited by new files and folders created in your folder /path/to/parent
by setting the setgid
bit using chmod g+s
like this:
chmod g+s /path/to/parent
Now, all new files and folder created under /path/to/parent
will have the same group assigned as is set on /path/to/parent
.
