Permissions?

[cme]

Does anybody know a good link to learn about file/directory permissions? ie: what chmod 777 filename would mean as well as other related questions. I'm looking, but nothing good yet.

Help a fella out? TIA.

try the command 'man chmod'

chmod 777 filename

sets the permissions r,w,x for everyone

Sorry, I should have said this before, but the man page for chmod doesn't impress me much. It is hard to understand. (for me at least) I was looking for an English version of a help file. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Thanks again.

How about this? (http://jgo.local.net/LinuxGuide/linux-chmod.html)

If not, try a google search. ;)

Forgot about actually searching. I was looking on linux sites.

Thanks.
