Assume the following files are in the working directory
prompt> ls -l tasks
-rw-r--r-- 1 alex student 1423 Feb 21 14:01 tasks
What command can Alex use to give everyone permission to
write to the file? What will the ls -l
command display if he does so?
Answer Posted / div
chmod 666 tasks will give all users (owner, group and
others) the read-write permission.
r = 4
w = 2
x = 1
therefore rw = 4+2 =6
ls -l : lists a large amount of information of all non-
hidden files and directories in the current working
directory. eg (permissions, owners, size, and when last
modified.)
