Creating a file with proper permissions in linux - URGENT

[Payam Fard]

Hi all,
Is there anyway using merely java.io or java.nio apis to create a new file with proper permissions for user, group and others? If not, how can I do it with Linux system calls? (I know creat might help, but I am not sure how to pass the permissions stuff it).
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Payam.

Umm, I don't know if there is a way to do it with the java.io or java.nio package. The command on Linux and Unix to set permissions is chmod. It takes either a symbolic or numeric argument. For example:

    chmod ugo+rwx file

Gives the user, group and world read, write and execute permission. Here is the numeric version:

    chmod 777 file

Here is a link to the man page: CHMOD(1)
