What's the permissions of the mount and or directory? Do they have access? I'm assuming not.

by default the /srv/ftp has the root permissions for writing.But well,to copy something,u dont need the write permissions.

wat permissions are u exactly referring to?

If your mounting another drive or network share, what are the given permissions of that mount? If your doing it as root and not specifying the permissions, I'm assuming only root is going to be able to read from it, etc.

man mount

yeah ,i am mounting the directory as root.
all the directories that i am binding to another directory have read permissions for all users..So they should be able to travel through the directory hierarchy ,i guess,,,,,,

how to specify the permissions,(just view and copy) say of directory x

mount --bind /home/gh/tin /srv/ftp/

here say i give $ chmod 755 /home/gh/tin ,is it ok?or should i do something else?if yes,wat
