Understanding Unix Permissions
- 📂 First character: File type (- = regular file, d = directory)
- 👥 Next 9 characters: Read (r), Write (w), Execute (x) for Owner, Group, Others
- 🔢 Octal representation: Each digit represents Owner, Group, Others permissions
- ✅ 4 = Read, 2 = Write, 1 = Execute
Examples
755: rwxr-xr-x (Owner can read/write/execute, Group and Others can read/execute)
644: rw-r--r-- (Owner can read/write, Group and Others can only read)
600: rw------- (Owner can read/write, no permissions for Group or Others)
