I have a directory with name 'test' that has permissions 0777.

I have a script to write files to the directory 'test'. However, these files have, by default, permission 0644.

I need these files to inherit the folder permissions.

Can anyone please help me achieve this?

Reset to default

When you create new file you can't make it by default executable. Even if your umask is 000. This is in UNIX/Linux by design. You can always add execution permission postfactum:

chmod +x filename

See How to make the newly created files inherit the directory's permissions…?

Its solution may help you with similar questions.

But try to limit permission; 0777 is rarely really needed.
