I was trying to install vmware.bundle file, and found a terminal command that helped me install the program.
su
chmod +x VM*.bundle
./VM*.bundle
I was just curious what the command chmod was for? Just trying to understand the terminal a little better.
I accidentally did a 'chmod +x foo' when i meant to do a 'chmod a+r foo'.

I have a separate data partition on my F12 box with one dir for my children and subdirs for each of them. because they had no rw- rights and because they sometimes use one of the other logins to work for school I changed the permissions for their dir so that anyone has access. I used
Code:
# chmod -R 666 [their directory]
after that Nautilus displayed an empty folder even with 'show hidden files' on.however, with
Code:
ls -lh
on the dir and subdirs all the files seem to be present (luckily).
1. what did I wrong?
2. how do I get the files back using Nautilus?
I'm trying to make a particular file accessible on my computer ( /dev/uinput ) without having to use sudo or su - I've set up a wiimote to act as a remote for my media player, and it requires access to that file. When I use chmod, chgrp or chown to change the file's settings, it enables access to the file - however, when I reboot my PC, the settings get reset, and I have to change the access rights when I first use it again. I've tried using the following commands to make the changes (substituting my username/groupname as user and group below), as root:

Chmod has no option to skip lowering execute bit on directories? Now that's something I would consider a serious bug.

It's not completely critical because my system is a home server.

How to use CHMOD in linux? When I try to delete a file/folder, permission is denied. What exact params must I give for chmod here? This is what I need to do. Execute a command ./build.mips , but I get permission denied error.

View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to issue "su -", I get "su: Authentication failure", and I'm 100% sure password I enter is ok.
I think it started to happen after I issued
chmod +s /usr/bin/screen
chmod 755 /usr/bin/screen
which I believe is unrelated to this problem, and,
chmod -s /bin/su (-s by mistake)
chmod 755 /bin/su
which most probably made the whole mess...
this is not the part of the problem I believe but here's some background why I did that... when trying to make possible for screen sessions to be started automatically on boot under non-root account, I entered something like "su - username -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS screenname ./executable-file"" in bootmisc.sh, but I was getting "must run suid root for multiuser support", so I tried to fix it, and now I can't login to root account no way.
I've got a Centos server setup as a web server and have no problems doing anything from the command line. Some users need to connect via FTP, and need to be able to chmod files and directories as they please. I've been able to allow the users to connect to the web directory via FTP, but can't work out how to allow them the ability to chmod anything within the folder. The files were originally uploaded by root user, however I want any user connecting via FTP to be able to edit permissions as they please.

For some reason I am having some issues with permissions of some images. They don't render because they are not set to 644. Now for some reason when I uploaded these files onto my shared hosting with cPanel the files work fine and permissions are fine. I can see there is a permission issue for the files locally on my Mac (OS X - El Capitan).
When I changes these locally on Mac the permissions go all weird and are prefixed with Custom, rather than mac-user-name: Read & Write, staff: Read, everyone: no access. then changes to custom: read & write etc. So then i tried changing permissions on web server see below and I get permission denied and after all the files are gone, i can't delete the images folder through SFTP or SSH. I changed back the image to 755 and tried deleting and still nothing. Not sure what the problem is. Before I chmod I checked that the images are set to the correct user and group as per the rest of the site.
So I try:
Code: Select alluser_name@debian:/var/www/html/_files$ chmod -R 644 images
and I get this return:
Code: Select allchmod: cannot access ‘images/box-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/ie-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/google-plus-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/mobile-ready-icon.svg’: Permission denied

View 1 Replies View Relatedor at least, it doesn't seem to. for some reason, my .txt, .doc, .rtf, and other files that shouldn't have the execute bit set often seem to (i think i know why, but that's not important). it's my understanding that this command should, for example, remove the execute bit from all .rtf files recursively (that is, from .rtf files in subdirectories too):
Code: chmod -R 666 *.rtf i've read help and the man page for chmod, and it seems that -R switch should make chmod work recursively, but it only alters files in the present working directory. could someone point out what i'm doing wrong?
