chmod
CHMOD
Changing permissions in a Linux Terminal
COMMANDS & LINKS:
chmod o+w stuff : give "others" write access to the file "stuff"
chmod o-w stuff : remove write access for "others" from "stuff"
chmod a-x stuff : remove exucutable permissions from "stuff"
chmod 777 stuff : give everyone all permissions to stuff (this is a very BAD idea)
chmod 600 stuff : owner has read & write access only to "stuff" (excellent security but not always practical)
chmod 644 stuff : owner has read & write access; group has read access; others have no access (good security)
chmod 664 stuff : owner has read & write access; group has read & write access; others have no access (default security)
