+ means adding permissions
- means removing permissions
chmod means change mode
ugo means user, group, others
rwx mean read, write, execute
31. chmod ugo-rwx ---------------------- To add permission to a file. (what
permissions you are adding and to whom like ugo means user, group, others & rwx
mean read, write, execute).
31. chmod -R ugo-rwx ------------------- To add permission to a folder. (For adding
permissions folder -R is required).
32. chmod u+x filename ----------------- This will add permissions to execute.
33. chmod g+wx filename ---------------- This will add permissions to group to
write and execute.
34. chmod u-x filename ----------------- This will remove permissions user to
execute.
1->x(EXECUTE), 2->w(WRITE), 4->r(READ)
35. chmod 664 foldername --------------- This will give to ugo group like first
place 6 is for user(u) second 6 is for group(g) & third 4 is for other(o).
Now here 6 = 4+2 mean 4 is for read and 2 is for write so user(u) will have read &
write permissions.
Now here 6 = 4+2 mean 4 is for read and 2 is for write so group(g) will also have
read & write permissions.
Now here 4 which is for read and 2 is for write so other(o) will have only write
permissions
Now if we want to give all the permissions then the number will be 7(4+2+1;
summetion of all) for all the cases like - chmod 777 foldername
