CHMOD files versus folders

[Andrew B.]

I'm remembering something but not sure if I have it mixed up. Do files have to operate within the limitations of the CHMOD setting of their folder, even if the files are set with greater permission.

If I am understanding the question correctly, the answer is no. I can create a public RW file within a public RO folder and public users should be able to open the file and write to it. They could not delete the file as that would need write access to the folder and they do not have that.

Aha! I thought it was something like that.
