What are the different permissions?
There are three different permissions you can give to a file or directory, read, write and execute. Each permission has a number associated with it, read is 4, write is 2 and execute is 1. You can add these numbers together to get the permission you want to give.
For example if you want to give read and write permissions to the owner you would add 4 + 2 which would give you 6. If you want to give read, write and execute permissions to the group you would add 4 + 2 + 1 which would give you 7.

If you want to give read, write and execute permissions to the group you would add 4 + 2 + 1 which would give you 7. You can then use the command chmod 760 file_name to give the permissions to the file.
If you want to give read, write and execute permissions to the owner, group and others you would add 4 + 2 + 1 which would give you 7. You can then use the command chmod 777 file_name to give the permissions to the file.Warning: Giving 777 permissions to a file or directory is not recommended as it gives full access to everyone.
If you want to give read and execute permissions to the owner, group and others you would add 4 + 1 which would give you 5. You can then use the command chmod 755 file_name to give the permissions to the file.Warning: Giving 755 permissions to a file or directory is not recommended as it gives full access to everyone.
