Hey when I was rooted I moved a few files into a dir how do you make the dir accessable to reg users that are not root

dipshit moron retard · 05-08-2002, 09:54 PM

chmod -R 755 /directory
get icq or something, cunt

ProgGod · 05-08-2002, 09:58 PM

why do people always use chmod with numbers, most people who do that don't even know what the numbers mean, or what base they are even in

chmod a+rwx means all can read write and execute
chmod a-rwx no one can read write and execute
chmod u+ (user)
chmod g+ (group)

so for you chmod a+r blah

Hmmmmm...

Depending on how your system's set up if you gotta write to the files you may need to change the owner too.

chown -R newowner filename

will do that.

So which one do you find easier...

chmod u=rwx,go=rx file

or...

chmod 755 file ?

Learning what the numbers are, is so much easier.
