Permissions to a DIR

mikedelo · 04-06-2014, 06:15 PM

Hi all,

A while ago I set permissions to a directory inside my home directory called STUFF so that no one can open it. When I want to access the files I have to right click the DIR and select open as root, type in my password.

I would now want to open the permissions up to everyone. I right click and select properties and click on the permission tab.

My question is how do I reset the permissions to normal?

Thank you in advance!

Mike

Code:

su -
cd /home/YourUserName
chown -R YourUserName:users STUFF

replace "YourUserName" with well Your User Name
