chmod permissions made easy

August 24, 2016

You are doing some chmod now and then, and get lost..frequently. Then you’re definitely need to look at this. r = 4 w = 2 x = 1 - = 0   Example:

  • rwx r-- r-- (4+2+1) (4+0+0) (4+0+0) = 744
  • rw- r-x r-x (4+2+0) (4+0+1) (4+0+1) = 655
  • the list goes on..

  There you have it.
