I have one requirement in which when I create a directory I want to create it with 777 permission. I did all stuff but not able to do this, anybody knows how to do this? Then please share.
Suppose I have directory /home/sachin/dir.
Now I am creating one folder test under /home/sachin/dir.
mkdir /home/sachin/dir/test
It will create test folder with 775 permission which I do not want.
I don't want to use -m option with the mkdir command.
You have to use umask command:
Execute this command for creating every file or directory with 777 permission for an interactive shell:
umask 000
If you want to make it permanent setting for a single user then execute following commands:
gedit ~/.profile
and add a new line as
umask 000
then save the file.
If you want to make it default setting for all users, then execute following commands:
sudo -H gedit /etc/profile
and add a new line as
umask 000
then save the file.
