[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 115132"] Or you could put your added folders into a subfolder with adjusted permissions. Then you will not need to remember to do anything. This will only be a problem if you are continually creating directories in the base of your home folder. Another option would be to lock down your base home directory (don't do it recursively though) and create links to the directories you want to share somewhere publicly accessible like the Shared folder. On a side note why is it that using info prompts you for a password? I'll stick with chmod, it's faster once you learn the commands. Finally, fearlessfreap24, you're making me blush. :) [/QUOTE]
