Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 224692

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Ran Li]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.8

Files downloaded with Firefox do not inherit the permissions of the folder they
are written to.  This creates a major hassle when downloading to folders that
are shared over a network.  Downloaded files cannot be accessed from the network
unless their permissions are manually set.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a file to a shared folder using Firefox Download Manager.
2. Attempt to access that file from another computer on the network.

Actual Results:  
Permission denied

Expected Results:  
Opened the file

You can also see how the permissions are not inherited by downloading a file
into a directory that has security permissions set on it (for example, Read &
Execute for Everyone) and then using the CACLS command on the file.  The default
permissions will be on the file, but not the permissions that are supposed to be
inherited from the parent directory.
