660 = rw-rw---
maybe you mean
640 = rw-r----
In the case of 640, someone in the group who does not own the file can only read it. In the case of 660, someone in the group who does not own the file can read and write to it.
Also note that the x bit can be for permission to execute (for an executable) or permission to enter (for a directory).

From the above,
6 = Owner
4 = Group <=
0 = Others
I want to understand Group
What if the Owner is a member of a group. Will he have rights to Read and Write or only Read. What do we understand?
