To zip some files, the user needs two things:

- the permission to _read_ the files s/he is going to zip (r-- for the files, r-x for directories containing the files)

- the permission to _write_ the zip archive to some directory (rwx for that directory only)

If the user intends to delete the original files after creating the zip archive, write access to the directories containing the original files (rwx) is needed. Write access to the files is not needed: write access to the directory is enough to delete the files inside it.
(Exception: if chmod +t is used on the directory, the user must be the owner of the files, or s/he cannot delete them.)

Hi Matti,

Thanx for the response.

Actually i had tested in server with r-x permission normal user can zip the file.

Let me explain the scenario..

I have to set acl permission to a normal user on a folder, so that they can zip the files inside that folder.

Now my Q is if any new files created inside that folder ,that user can zip the new files?

My requirement is a normal user should be able to zip the files inside a folder where acl permision set..


plz guide
