I have a client who is using php and needs the permissions of a new folder, when created to be 755. Can this be done? If so, how? Thanks!
How is the new folder created? If he creates the folder with a php script, he can use the chmod function in php and if he creates the folders with ftp, take a look at the pure-ftpd config files and change the umask for new folders.
I am not sure what they are creating it with, but it sounds like you have a solution either way, thanks!
