Confused with the permission
Hi,
One of the directory in my folder has the following persion :

drwxr-sr-x

Can any one explain this permission and how can his occur ? This folder is created with Win SCP. Any folder created with win SCP is being set to this permission only.

Depends on the settings of the ssh/scp server, possibly the user's dot files, and the permissions of the parent folder. I suppose you are wondering about the group "s" bit. On some architectures this has a special meaning to the OS, e.g. to make the kernel inherit group ownership for new files and directories from the parent directory's group. See e.g. setuid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
