User permissions

[mufka]

How would I set the permissions on a folder such that any user can read or write to anything in the folder including subfolders. It seems that when I set the permissions, it works until a user creates a file and then no one else can open it.

Thanks

I think that setting the gid bit for the directory in question will cause files/folders created within it to inherit the permissions of that directory, as opposed to those of the user who creates them.

You can also use chmod -R which will recursively set permissions.
