for one of my folders in linux centos i set group permission rwx. in this situation all files and folders that are exist inherit all permission from parent directory. but when i create new Directory, it doesn't inherit permission from parent. How to force new files and folders to inherit all permission from their parent??
i think "umask" is global command. let me explain whole problem. i have 3 ftp users A,B & C. all of them are belong to group named "ftp-images". and default primary ftp folder for all 3 user is one location. permission for root folder is:
You need to do both the user and default user. The first gives permissions to access the directory, the second causes new files and directories to inherit the ownership/group/permissions of the parent.
To do the same for group ownership/permissions, use `g' instead of 'u' in the command.
One note: The filesystem needs to be a Linux filesystem that supports ACLs, and you need to add "acl" to the mount options.
