chmod 755 filename
Read = 4, Write = 2, Execute = 1. Owner, group, and others each get one digit. 777 gives everyone full access, so avoid it on servers.
Frequently asked questions
What do the numbers in 755 mean?
Each digit is Owner, Group, Others. Each digit adds Read (4) + Write (2) + Execute (1). So 7 = rwx, 5 = r-x, and 755 means the owner can do everything while everyone else can read and execute.
How do I convert rwxr-xr-x back to a number?
Type the 9 symbols into the Symbolic box, or tick the checkboxes. The tool computes the octal number and the chmod command for you.
Is chmod 777 ever a good idea?
Almost never. It gives every user full read, write, and execute access, which is a security risk on any shared server or website.
