[users@httpd] Automatically chmod files

[Webmaster <we...@mastermindshosting.com>]

Is it possible that when a file is created under a certain directory that is automatically chmod to 700 instead of 644 when it is created?

the permissions of a file on creation are determined by the umask setting
for the user creating the file. a umask value of 066 will create files
with -rw------- (600) permissions. the execute bit is not typically set
by umask for files, only directories.

i would assume you are writing a file via some script and i have found it
easier to set permissions via the script creating the file.

there maybe some apache function for umask but i am unaware of it.
