Yes, I have read the FAQ 

I can't get downloaded files to be assigned the permissions I would like (666), newly downloaded files will be systematically -rw---x--

umask is 0000

extract from amule.conf

Code: [Select]

TempDir=/mnt/p2p/amule_temp
IncomingDir=/mnt/p2p/amule_downloads
PermissionsFiles=666
PermissionsDirs=666
directory permissions of download directories are

Code: [Select]

drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nogroup 4096 2007-07-15 23:43 amule_downloads
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nogroup 4096 2007-07-16 00:02 amule_temp
amuled and amuleweb run as user "amule".

I tested creating new files with touch or vi as user amule, they are correctly created as rw-rw-rw- so the problem seems to be either on amule side or I am missing some deeper understanding of Linux (which is not at all unlikely).

System is a PPC based NAS running Debian Etch and amule 2.1.3-1 (command line only, no GUI).

Thanks in advance for any hints.

in amule.conf permissions are in decimal notation, so here's a simple table

octal    decimal

666      438

777      511

hope it can help you.

Thanks, that was the solution. I wonder what is the design idea behind transforming the octal permissions in decimal (other than confuse newbees    )

[Nerofumo]

Good question.

I've no answer for that, just an insight into what could be that strange number when i checked my configuration file.
