Reason: link back to orig. thread to clarify context
755 means read and execute access for everyone and also write access for the owner of the file. When you perform chmod 755 filename command you allow everyone to read and execute the file, owner is allowed to write to the file as well. For more information see details on UNIX permissions and chmod command.

what do you mean by that?
through a terminal?
with a terminal??
Have you read the man page for chmod? If not, please do & then ask questions about the parts of it you don't understand.
Did you mean your OQ (original question), "how to get permission by chmod", literally? -- Everyone has been interpreting it as "How do I set permissions with chmod"
If you're really asking about how to display existing permissions, then the answer is not chmod at all, but ls, specifically:
Code:
ls -l
If that is the case, please read the man page for ls & then return here w/ your questions about the parts of it you don't understand.
What does this question have to do w/ permissions?

Do I need have that post & its answers split into a separate thread also?
The following makes it readable and executable by everyone... and only writable by root.
Code:
chmod +rx+rx+rwx filename
Ummm ... that statement is wrong in two ways; you got the
permission order back to front; and you're not setting permissions,
you're adding them.
To achieve what you SAID rather than put in the command you'd
need (assuming root was the owner of the file) to do:
