How to change default permissions on new files
Hello, I would like to know if there was any way I can change the default permissions for new files being generated within a certain directory.
Would I need to have the same permissions set at the directory level as for the files being generated in it. Regards, Rdgblues

I don't think that you can do propagation of directory permissions to file permissions... you can manage your file permissions by using umask. You can search on the site for several examples of umask.
You can make the group ownership of files created in a directory match the group owner of the directory by having the setgid bit set on the directory.
