Setting permissions for group permanently for future files and folders

begli · 07-19-2010, 12:31 PM

I would like to set both user and group permissions permanently to be 'rwx' (read-write-execute). I would like these rwx settings for all the future files and folders.

I tried umask 002, chmod etc, but they don't set it for future files.

Any advices would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Begli

Hi, welcome to LQ!

You just need to modify the users .bashrc to have the new umask.
If the file-system you're working on indeed has a knowledge of
Linux' permissions, and is not, e.g., FAT or NTFS.

Cheers,
