Newbie question over Cmod

[justsexxx]

Hi,

I have to upload some files and then cmod them. I have wsftp, but I don't know anymore what permission is 666, 755 etc. Do you have them?

Okay i will try it.. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

755 =

Owner Group Other
X read X read X read
X write X write X write
X execute X execute X execute

666 =

Owner Group Other
X read X read X read
X write X write X write
execute execute execute

X = Enabled

Hope this helps

a stupid way:
in wsftp, if you forget or confuse the owner, group, read, write, execute... just try to mark or unmark different combination, click ok, down the left hand of your wsftp will show you which mod you just changed, eg, 755, 777, try again till you see the one you want.

My try:
The first digit designates owner
permissions
The second group permissions
The third other's permissions

permission to read is 4, to write 3, and to execute 1

Example. In chmod 755 the 7 means that the owner has rights to read,write and execute the file, beacuse 7 = 4 + 2 +1, while 5 = 1 + 4 means that other guys only can read and execute the file.

Correction: permission to read is 2 of course, not 3

lol
I mean: permission to write is 2

(i'm to tired to do this; now I've confused everybody, including meself ... lol)
