- The
chmod command changes file permissions
- Changing file permissions is limited to the owner of the file
- The hard way: "chmod" takes an octal number to indicate the
permissions of the owner, group and others
% chmod 777 myFile
- The easy way: instead of using octal you can use options to
specify what permissions
- u - user (owner)
- g - group
- o - other
- a - all
