Are you talking files created by ftp, or files simply created by say, vi? If it's the latter, I don't believe it's possible to create files with 777 in unix/linux. Umask will only restrict down further, but it cannot give permissions. Not taking umask into account you can only create files as permission 666, the unix world doesn't make files executable by default. Umask can only take away read and write permissions in this case, it can't add executable.
But that's in solaris, I may be wrong in RedHat. Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Richard S. Crawford Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 2:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Directory permissions You shouldn't have to. Setting chmod 777 on the directory should do it just fine. On the other hand, Bret might be right as well. This may not be possible. I'm not enough of a Linux expert to know for sure. ;-) May I ask why you need to do this? There might be a more efficient solution to your problem. For example, if you have a bunch of programmers all working together on a big project, maybe it's better to look into cvs or some other source management tool?
