Create File with permissions

enter:

umask 002

Then, all new files will have the permissions you requested while you are still logged in.

To make it permanent every time you log in, append that to your shell profile like this:

echo "umask 002" >> ~/.profile

Actually, what you need to set your umask to, depends on the rest of the system.

First check in /etc/default/login for the system wide UMASK setting. This is the one that applies to you. You should start calculating from there :)

====================

The three

octal digits refer to read/write/execute permissions for

owner, group, and other, respectively(seechmod(1),

chmod(2), and umask(2)). The value of each specified digit

is subtracted from the corresponding ``digit'' specified by

the system for the creation of a file (see creat(2)). For

example, umask 022 removes write permission for group and

other (files normally created with mode 777 become mode 755;

files created with mode 666 become mode 644).
