chmod
=====
use "ls -l" to see permissions
chmod o=r filename.txt (this gives "others" read access to the file)
chmod g= filename.txt (this takes away all the groups permissions)
chmod og=rw filename.txt (this gives the group and others read and write access)
Execute=1, Write=2, Read=4
chmod 740 filename.sh (this gives the owned fill rights, the group read access and others no access)
chmod 755 filename.sh (this gives the owned fill rights, the group/others read, and execute rights)
touch playaround (this will create a empty file that you can test the chmod command on)
The three attributes are:
-Read (read the file)
-Write (change the file)
-Execute (run the file)
