--write-info-json file is file peremissin 600 -rw--------

[niammuddin]

Hi dear, I add --write-info-json, but file permission can be download, because file permisson is 600, I need to 644, so for all file .json to 644 permisson, please understand me, thanks

Modifying permissions is your responsibility not youtube-dl's. Out of scope.

Why is that different for JSON (600) and thumbnail/video (640)? It seems to only modify the video file.

Hi @dstftw I would like to reopen this issue. Does it not seem strange that all the other files are being outputted with permissions 644 but the info.json file is 600? I am experiencing this myself.

Took a brief look at this but need to head to sleep. I believe right now that this is due to tempfile.
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/utils.py#L1826

>>> import tempfile
>>> tf = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('w')
>>> tf.name
'/tmp/tmp1otz2tn1'

root@athena:~/test# ls -la /tmp/tmp1otz2tn1
-rw------- 1 root root 0 May  3 01:10 /tmp/tmp1otz2tn1

I can try to do more digging tomorrow provided I find time between taking care of my kid to provide a PR unless someone else gets to this first.
