CHMOD – Applying Different Permissions For Files vs. Directories – Server Fault
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/12/16
The answers at [WayBack] CHMOD – Applying Different Permissions For Files vs. Directories – Server Fault describe various ways to do this. Depending in why/when you want to change them you’d probably favour different ones, so be sure to read the answers.
I mostly use these combinations:
find . -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \; find . -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
and
find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \; find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
And since I forget how to do ocatal too often:
commonly used permissions:
Permission COMMAND --------- ------------------ rwxrwxrwx chmod 777 filename rwxrwxr-x chmod 775 filename rwxr-xr-x chmod 755 filename rw-rw-rw- chmod 666 filename rw-rw-r-- chmod 664 filename rw-r--r-- chmod 644 filenamepermissions are divided into 3 divisions. The first rwx is for the owner. The next 3 is for the group. The last 3 is for everyone else.
rwx------ owner permissions - read, write, executable ---rwx--- group permissions - rwx ------rwx other permissions - rwx
