Inherit permissions from parent folder


I want to have files copied to a NFS share inherit permissions from the parent folder. The NFS share is on a Debian 6 webserver.

What happens now is:
ls -l /sourcefolder
-rwx------ 1 user sourcegroup .... file.csv
cp /sourcefolder/file.csv /targetfolder/file.csv
ls -l /targetfolder
-rwx------ 1 user targetgroup .... file.csv

What I want is:
ls -l /sourcefolder
-rwx------ 1 user sourcegroup .... file.csv
cp /sourcefolder/file.csv /targetfolder/file.csv
ls -l /targetfolder
-rwxrw---- 1 user targetgroup .... file.csv

As you can see in the first example the group is inherited from the parentfolder, but the permissions are not. What must I do to let the file inherit the permissions from the parentfolder?

I'm not sure about this, but couldn't you use acl for this? http://www.ghacks.net/2010/01/28/fur...iles-with-acl/
I don't know if it works on nfs shares, only used it on regular file-systems.
