What would be a practical way of making sure files I upload to/edit in a particular directory on a server always have the correct group permissions?
I'm forgetful, so I try to automate things like chgrp'ing the files when I'm done. I could write a script to be run by cron. Is that the only way,... (2 Replies)

chown
CHOWN(2) System Calls Manual CHOWN(2)NAME
chown - change owner and group of a file
SYNOPSIS
int chown(const char *path, int owner, int group)
DESCRIPTION
The file that is named by path has its owner and group changed as specified. Only the super-user may change the owner of the file, because
if users were able to give files away, they could defeat file-space accounting procedures. The owner of the file may change the group to a
group of which he is a member.
On some systems, chown clears the set-user-id and set-group-id bits on the file to prevent accidental creation of set-user-id and set-
group-id programs.
RETURN VALUE
Zero is returned if the operation was successful; -1 is returned if an error occurs, with a more specific error code being placed in the
global variable errno.
ERRORS
Chown will fail and the file will be unchanged if:
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
[ENAMETOOLONG] The path name exceeds PATH_MAX characters.
[ENOENT] The named file does not exist.
[EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
[ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname. (Minix-vmd)
[EPERM] The effective user ID is not the super-user.
[EROFS] The named file resides on a read-only file system.
[EFAULT] Path points outside the process's allocated address space.
[EIO] An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
