Permissions on downloaded files

[Orionn]

I'm using rssdler to scan a torrent feed, and it's downloading the torrents fine, but it's creating them with permissions that doesn't allow any other user or group to read them (-rw------- 1 pi pi). I have tried setting the GID(?) bit on the folder by using chmod g+s, and it works fine for all files currently in the folder, but any new files get the "600" permissions again.

The other thing I tried was running chmod in crontab (I'm running rssdler from crontab), but since rssdler isn't instantaneous, in the time between the file is created and the chmod runs, transmission (my torrent client) tries to load the torrent, can't read it because of permissions, somehow remembers that file is bad and never tries that file again.

Any ideas on how I can make all files downloaded by rssdler to have 777 permissions from the start?

Look into setfacls(1), specifically

default:user::rwx

default:group::r-x

default:group:media:rw-

default:mask::rwx

default:other::rw-

You're a champion. That worked. Here's the commands I entered:

chmod g+s /path/to/my/watchdir 
setfacl -d -m g::rwx /path/to/my/watchdir
setfacl -d -m o::rx /path/to/my/watchdir
