Setting separate default file and directory permissions

acunacha · 11-06-2012, 12:47 PM

Hi,

This is a quick question, I have tried to find an answer but it's been unsuccesful.

Is there a way to set different default permissions for files and for directories?

To illustrate better, let's say I have a /project samba share. I want to configure that share so that new files created in it have the file permissions of 660, and new directories are created with 750.

I have thought of umask, acls, but I dont really know how to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Diego

Add this to your smb.conf share block:

Code:

# Mask for new files that are created;
  create mask = 0660

# mask for new directories that are created:
   directory mask = 0750
