How can I make any folders or files created by a certain user always be public (accessible by anyone) in Ubuntu?
1 Answer
You edit the user file-creation mode mask (umask) of that user.
There are several ways to do this, one way would be to add umask xxx
(xxx is your desired umask) to your ~/.profile
and relog. This won't affect already existing files though.
See Wikipedia umask for information about umask and how to calculate one.
