  • Thank you for the excellent explanation! I spent hours trying to copy files from my local computer to a server. I had various problems but finally was close but denied permissions. After watching your video, I was able to change the permissions, copy the files, then change the permissions back. Thank you!

  • the easier way to understand the last part is to convert all those digits into a binary example: for chmod 754 bacon 7:111,5:101,4:100
    in the binary representation, each digit stands for rwx here for the owner r=1,w=1,x=1 therefore owner has all permission whereas the group has r=1,w=0,x=1 hence it has read and execute and similarly others have just read permissions
