File permissions

<< < (2/2)

voidmain:
Use "chown" to change ownership of the file, use "chmod" to change file permissions based on that owner and group. I wrote a few quite long messages about file permissions somewhere around here quite a while back. Might want to search the "Linux/UNIX" forum for them.  Otherwise do a "man chmod" and "man chown" to see the local documentation. There are bazillions of web sites with better tutorials/instructions. Just type in "chmod" and "chown" in google and you'll have plenty of info.

Stryker:
I prefer chmod (a/g/u)+-(r/w/x) filename
so for executables...
chmod a+rx index.cgi


but that's just me, it will be longer if you want to be really specific on who gets what.

sporkme:
its just like ftp

777 lets anyone do anything

chmod 777 filename

chmod 766 filename

and such

there is little to understand, really...  jack with it.
