How can i make user always create files + folders with 775 permission ? Please help
 

Hello,

I am trying to achieve the following on Debian, i need to have testuser create all his files + folders with 775 permission, everything this user creates i would like for it to have that permission.

I would be VERY appreciative if someone could tell me how to do this.

What will also work would be some way i could set a folder to always have that permission no matter what is written in it and by who.

Have a look at umask.

Reading about it but still no luck so far.

Read some more?

in the users .bash_profile or .bashrc file add the line:

You can just type 'umask' on the command line to see the current umask.

Thank you for your replies.

I have

umask 0002

If i create a new file via SFTP, it gets permission 0644 rw-r--r-- , i also need write for the group so it didnt do the trick :(.

now that ads a twist
this is a REMOTE login

that should have been posted in the very first post and NOT just finding this out in post #6

what software are you using and what is the host?

and you REALLY DO NOT !!!!! want remote users using 775

This activity have any thing to do with apache?

Nope.

So, i have 2 users, we'll call them user1 and user2.

User1 will have access to SFTP + SSH, user2 will have access only to FTP.

If user1 creates a file, user2 will not have write permission for that file when connected to FTP.

I need to give user2 write access to the file, how can i do this?

I've already tried to set that up :(.

you might have thought of this or tried it already, but have you tried using groups with them permissions/limits attached to it, then who ever is assigned to that group can, and them not attached to that group cannot?

Hello

Maybe this has to do with SFTP? If the idea is that they can transfer files but not run scripts, I think you need to put the umask in the sshd config.

I have added them like this in etc/group

user1:x:1000:user2
user2:x:1001:user1

Should i change something ? hmm.

Maybe they are not added correctly ?

can execute just not write to is the only thing that the OP seems to be worried about.


and that only pertains to other that the write permissions have been removed from.
