linux - Set permission using octal notation -
i know permission set using chmod
having hard time understating how convert octal number permission.
for example
640
mean user hasrw-r----x
permission? becuase 4+2=6 , 4 = w , 0 = - ?i understand
777
wide open because user has full control fo file 4+2+1 = 7 rwx permission group has rwx , second group has rwx permission if answer question answer be.rw-r----x
doing wrong?
there 3 digits. first digit user permissions, second digit group permissions, third digit else's permissions.
every digit formed adding subset of of 4 (read), 2 (write), 1 (execute).
thus 6 4 0 means user (6
) allowed read , write (4 + 2
), group (4
) allowed read (4
), , else (0
) has no permissions.
