Sticky bit question...need help


Hello everyone. Have a quick question here. What is the command so I can put a sticky bit on a directory so the permission will push down through the directory, to the files.

For example, I have a directory scripts. And everything that goes into their I want it to be executable. Is it possible to set a command on the directory to set those specified permissions on files that are going to be placed their in the future?

If so, can someone give a explanation of the command.

I know its something around the lines as: chmod 1777(or whatever permissions) folder name.

Thanks everyone!!!
