Actually 666 would give read-write permissions to everyone as well. Here's the break down:
First number = owner rights Second number = group rights Third number = world rights From there, each number is determined from the following values: Read = 4 Write = 2 Execute = 1 If I want to give ONLY the owner read/write permissions, and everyone else just gets to read it, I would set it to the following: 4 (read) + 2 (write) = 6 Now that we know the numbers to use, we can assign those numbers to the users we want to have those permissions Owner: 6 Group: 4 World: 4 And now we know what to use with our chmod command: # chmod 644 myfile.cfm Make sense? Hope this helps!
