Automatic owner and group of subfiles/subfolders

Hi!

Is it possible to create a folder, and everything you put in it will automatically be owned by a specified user and group?

Thanks!

You can use this command on a folder to make it sticky ( file owner only can make modifications or delete):

chmod -v a+wt /your/directory/tree

could look at the man pages on chmod and see if you can change permissions by group. Hope that helps but it only answers one of the two questions.

Hmm... That wont help me.

One thing that could help me though. Is it possible to make a folder that a user can read, write and execute files in. But the user shouldn't be able to delete the folder it self. And any other user should only be able to read and execute files it.

This has more options and you might be able to figure out exactly what you want.

I found out that ACL's might help me so I'm reading up about that now.
