Linux Permissions

It doesn't belong here ... but was worth sharing.

• chmod /*change the permissions of a file*/
• chown /*change the owner of the file*/
• chgrp /*change the group that the file belongs to*/

example:
chmod 777 somefile.file /*this gives exe write and read to all */ not recommended for any file.

For chmod here is a list of the numbers and what they mean

• the 100's are for the owner of the file

400 reed
200 write
100 execute

• 10's are for the group of the file

40 read
20 write
10 execute

• 1's are for everyone else

4 read
2 write
1 execute

you add the number together to get different permissions
