Setting folder permission so it isn't deletable, but everything else is allowed

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I want to set permissions to a folder such that, when I'm normally logged in (meaning not as root), this folder isn't deletable, but I can still change the name of this folder and move in around in my system ? IS this possible and if yes, how to set the permission ? I already tried different combinations for the permissions but couldn't figure out how to do it. Also (side question), if some folder hast some permission set and I copy this folder, along with its contents (assuming I am allowed to read it) to a memory, are these permission preserved ? I suppose not, since under Windows I could (HowTos)

Files and folders from another PC viewed as locked and showing "nobody/nogroup"

Works fine when creating a new folder and new file on the PC:

permission for folders: drwxrwxr-x permission for files: -rw-rw-r--

When copying/moving a folder containing files from another PC:

permission for folders: drwxr-xr-x permission for files: -rwxr--r--

I would like to match the permissions of all files

Commands in Linux 2 years 26 weeks ago

Hello.

This is list of simple commands on linux. Forgot useful command?

I am using Ubuntu. Though I have given permission to my htdocs for access and delete. But I want it to be done for any folder that is either copied or placed in htdocs. I don't want to set permission each time for every folder that is copied to Htdocs. I want it for all folders of htdocs if they are copied after setting permission.

so i'm trying to make a shared folder for other users, inside that folder i want a personal folder for every user.

I have given full control to everyone on the network, so i can do anything i want, i tried to remove the "Delete" permission but than i couldn't create a folder with a new, which would mean all my folders are called "New Folder".

Is there a way to fix this?
