ownership

Hello,

I am member of couple of groups lets say Master, Student, Web. The problem is that by default whatever I do is first created under student group. I need to set it so it is created with Web group.

Folder www/ where I need to write file is already mode 770. But because it picks up my student group it does not allow me to write to that folder.

Is there any way to change the group that I create files under.

If I execute groups it lists all groups so I am member of correct group I just cant write to the folder.

Anyone?
