Changing access permissions

To change the access permissions for a file or directory use the command

   chmod mode filename
   chmod mode directory_name

The "mode" consists of three parts: who the permissions apply to, how the permissions are set and which permissions to set.

• **Caution**
• Examples
• Setting access permissions numerically
• Changing default access permissions
