You can give permissions to file / directory with chmod command.

chmod u+r

u+r - read permission (4)
u+w - write permission (2)
u+x - execution permission (1)

chmod 700 file will give -rwx------ permission to file.

Like that it will be for group and others.

chmod g+ file
chmod o+ file

If you view ls -l , it gives permission in first field. It is as, 3bitforuser 3bitforgroup 3bitfor owner.

-rw-rw-rw- (666 permission file)
drwxrw-rw- (766 permission directory)

More details, refere, chmod(1) and chmod(2) man pages.

hth.

Hi Anit


The command used to give the permission is chmod.But before that for having a better knowledge about file permission you can verify the attached man page of chmod

Hi,

You can change file-permissions with chmod:

there are two ways of using it: with symbolic or numeric

example
chmod g+rwx filename
will give read/write/execute to the group,

or use numeric
chmod 775 filename
which will grant read/write/execute to user and group + read/execute to other

each number represent user/group/other

check out the man-page for chmod

Cheers,
Kasper
