I believe the "+" indicates that there are some Windows permissions that do not map to the Unix-style user/group/other. For example, if I create a new file using cygwin (say, with touch), and then open the file's properties with Windows and explicitly add permission for another user to modify the file, I see the "+".1. What is the '+' in the file mode? I know it has something to do with file permission, after the editing, my web server/PHP does not have permission to open test.php anymore
Well, you can copy all the file attributes from one file (sourceFile) to another (destFile) with a command like this:2. How do I set the '+' in mode manually? I used 'fstat' on the two files and it shows the exact same mode (o100700).
% getfacl - sourceFile | setfacl -f- destFile
Do "M-x customize-apropros" on "backup-by-copying". The default behavior is to move the old file to the backup file and then create a new file. If you set this option on (non-nil), the backup copy will be made as a copy and the original file will be modified. This will preserve the extra file permissions on the original file (although the backup copy won't have them).3. Why xemacs changed the file mode? Could it be because of different file system?
