Permissions and USB key drives
Authored by: thecube on May 24, '04 03:24:01PM

One easy way of getting sensible permissions when transferring files from a Windows PC to unix is to compress the file(s) before copying them from the PC to your external disk. I use zip/unzip which produces sensible permissions when unpacking on unix. I expect tar/gzip/bzip2 etc would do the same.
