POSIX file permissions are not inherited; they are given by the creating process and combined with its current umask value. However, you can use POSIX ACLs to achieve this. Set the default ACL on a directory: setfacl -d -m u::rwX,g::rwX,o::- /path/to/parent This will apply setfacl to the /path/to/parent directory, -modifying the -default ACLs – those that will be applied to newly created items. ..
