Chmod

Posted 05-24-2011 at 05:02 AM by brownie_cookie

Thanks to Colucix, it became clear how to use chmod.
I hope this helps for other people who are starting to learn Linux !!

They are octal numbers. If you consider a triplet of permissions
Code:
Code:
rwx
they correspond to 4, 2, 1 respectively:
Code:
Code:
421
If you sum these values you obtain uniquely identified permission sets. For example, you have:
Code:
Code:
rwx = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7
r-x = 4 + 0 + 1 = 5
rw- = 4 + 2 +0 = 6
The chmod command requires this sum for each of the three triplets so that 755 is the same as
Code:
Code:
rwxr-xr-x
421401401
 7  5  5
Hope this helps.

If you got any questions, don't hesitate to PM me or post to my blog !!
