How can I force a copied file to always have u+w on? Is it one of the sticky bits or is it just not possible?

Asking this because often cd's have the w-bit off which can be quite annoying, because I have to change the w-bit on with chmod afterward.
btw I use mc to copy files (usually).
I run an updated FC2 system.

Via the great "man cp" ...


-p same as --preserve= mode, ownership,
timestamps --preserve[=ATTR_LIST] preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,owner-ship,timestamps) and security contexts, if possible additional attributes: links, all


This should do it for you

Hi Michael,

Thanks for you answer, but I need the opposite. I want the write attribute to be set even if the original file does not have the write attibute set, depending on the target directory.

Possible?

Sorry about that, Its late here in the US...

I don't think there is going to be a one stop shop for that.  I tried
googling but no luck there.

You "could" write a bash script to copy the file and chmod +w it, that
might save you a few keystrokes.

Other than that I'm out of ideas

Ok, thanks for the effort, I suspected as much. I hoped there would be some sticky bit (of which I still don't completely grasp the functionality) that solved this....


I was wondering whether umask could do the job, but man umask is too cryptic for me. I'll see if the ref guide of rh9 has any answers.

Guus.
