(Un)Protecting Your Files

chmod 755 * gives public access for read and execute, not for write
chmod 777 * gives complete public access
chmod 700 * locks out all access

You may replace the wildcard "*" above with any filename if you prefer to work on only one file. The wildcard will cause the command to work on all files in the current directory. Send mail to: lcrew@andromeda.rutgers.edu
