Linux Command To Give All Permissions To A File

Chapter: Linux Commands Last Updated: 24-08-2023 18:01:41 UTC

Program:

            /* ............... START ............... */
                
chmod +rwx filename

# Other command format.

chmod 777 filename


chmod 700 filename


chmod 544 filename


                /* ............... END ............... */
        

Notes:

• chmod: The command used to change file permissions.
• +rwx: This specifies that you want to add (+) read, write, and execute (rwx) permissions to the file.
• filename: Replace this with the name of the file you want to modify.
• Keep in mind that giving all permissions to a file might not always be the best practice for security reasons. It's generally a good idea to carefully consider the permissions you grant to files to ensure that your system remains secure.
• The chmod command can also be used with octal notation to set file permissions. Octal notation uses a three-digit number to represent permission settings for the owner, group, and others, respectively. Each digit is a combination of three bits (rwx), where:
• To give read, write, and execute permissions to the owner, and no permissions to the group and others : chmod 700 filename
• To give read and execute permissions to the owner, read permissions to the group, and no permissions to others : chmod 544 filename
• To give full permissions to everyone (not recommended for security reasons) : chmod 777 filename
