Raw

chmod

The syntax for permissions is:

chmod UGO FILE

'UGO' representing User, Group, and Other respectively.

The following codes add up to create the permissions.

For example, if I wanted to make 'myresume.docx' writable by me and my group, and readable by everyone else, I would preform the following command.

chmod 664 myresume.docx

To make a file executable run:

chmod +x FILE
