Send feedback on this topic to EmurasoftPermissions are attributes that specify which users or groups can access a particular file or folder. Generally, in Unix server, permissions can be described by three different kinds: owner, group and others. An r means read, a w means write, and an x means executable. For instance,
rwxrw-r--
means that the owner can read, write and execute, the group can read and write, and others can only read the file. They can be also written as 764 in octadecimal.
Permissions may not be used in every server.
