Hi all,

$ umask 0002
$ mkdir test
$ ls -ld test
drwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 Jun 23 19:04 test/

$ls -ld content
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Jun 23 19:29 content

$ cp -r content test/
$ls -ld test/content
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Jun 23 19:29 content

My question is, how can I make content directory permission mode to 775 if I
do cp inside the test directory?

Thanks.

Regards,
James
