I know how to set permissions etc, but rather than:

  1. Check permissions of one existing folder; and
  2. Note them down somewhere; and
  3. Use a command to set the permissions of an adjacent folder to the ones I've noted down

I want to run a command to set permissions of [folder 313] exactly the same as [folder 128].

Ideally, I would be able to set more than one, such that I can set the permissions of [folder 313], [folder 179], [folder 54], and [folder 226] simultaneously with the same permissions as [folder 128].

  • What OS exactly? does its version of chmod support a --reference=RFILE option? – steeldriver Dec 28 '14 at 01:56
  • As mentioned in don_crissti's link as well as cloning permissions you can also clone the owner of a file or folder using chown --reference=RFILE. And FWIW, GNU touch also supports the --reference option, so you can clone timestamps, too. – PM 2Ring Dec 28 '14 at 04:38
  • Thanks. It's all fixed now.

    I can't work out how to mark this question as "answered", but it is.
