Linux File Permission settings

Statement for viewing file permissions:

Enter at the terminal:

Ls-l XXX. XXX (XXX. XXX is the file name)

Then similar information will appear, mainly including:

-RW-r --

A total of 10 digits

The first one indicates the type.

The three RW in the middle represents the owner (user)

Then the three RW-represent the group)

The last three R groups represent other people (other)

Then I will explain the nine digits below:

R indicates that the file can be read)

W indicates that the file can be written)

X indicates that the file can be executed (if it is a program)

-The permission has not been granted.

Now let's talk about modifying file permissions.

Enter at the terminal:

Chmod o + w xxx. XXX

Grant other users the permission to write the file XXX. XXX.

Chmod go-rw xxx. XXX

Deletes the read and write permissions of group groups and other persons in XXX. XXX.

Where:

U stands for the owner (User)

G indicates the group in which the owner is located)

O stands for others, but not u and g (other)

A Represents all people, including U, G, and O

R indicates that the file can be read)

W indicates that the file can be written)

X indicates that the file can be executed (if it is a program)

Rwx can also be replaced by numbers.

R ------------ 4

W ----------- 2

X ------------ 1

------------- 0

Action:

+ Indicates adding permissions.

-Indicates the permission to be deleted.

= Indicates that it is the only permission

After everyone understands the above, we can easily understand the following common permissions:

-RW ------- (600) only the owner has the read and write permissions.

-RW-r -- (644) only the owner has the read and write permissions. The Group and others have only the read permissions.
