mudmanc4 Posted December 4, 2009 CID Share Posted December 4, 2009 I got tired of looking for what they all meant a couple years ago, so I made a txt file with them, just found it while I was looking for something else. Maybe someone can get something out of this. CHMOD = change mode // permissions This applies to a Unix or Unix type based OS. On a windows OS , you'll be changing the permissions ( same thing, just no chmod.) Sorry ☹ U = User / G = Group / W = World R = Readable / W = Writable / X = Executable / - = No permission U G W rwx rwx rwx chmod 777 /filename ~ or path rwx rwx r-x chmod 775 /filename rwx r-x r-x chmod 755 /filename rw- rw- r-- chmod 664 /filename rw- r-- r-- chmod 644 /filename If you have to do it this way, you add them up to get the final value. So to read , and write by owner, would be 600 and so on. The total value is 751 for full permissions. Permissions: 400 read by owner 040 read by group 004 read by anybody (other) 200 write by owner 020 write by group 002 write by anybody 100 execute by owner 010 execute by group 001 execute by anybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
