File Permision
Hi,

I want to know how the file permision should change to 755 automatically once the file is created. At the moment I do it explicitely by changing the permission mode to 755 using chmod command.

The default permission for a new file in my system is 644 (-rw-r--r--).

Thanks
Saumya

Use the umask command
Hi,

You can set the umask to 022 in the user profile.

Have fun.

The umask is already set 022.

svrark-himms02:/home/spatra/myjava> umask
022

Actually, most programs will by default open the file with 666 permissions. Then the umask will come into play. Usually the umask is set to 022 (you can check your's with the 'umask' command). So your final file perms are 666-022=644. Similarly, directories will also be created with 777 and then the umask applied.

666 is not for read write and execute
It will not have execute permission

6 ==> rw-
7 ==> rwx

666 represents rw for owner group and others
777 represents rwx for owner group and others
