General Questions • Re: How do you change the permissions of a file exactly?

Hi Noidly1,

Had somewhat a similar issue accessing files from a specific folder.

I used two commands:

1) Taking ownership which gives you "Read-Only"
Command: sudo chown root:root /

2) Being able to "Read-Write-Execute"
Command: setfacl -R -m u:username:rwx myfolder

Here are the sources that guide me on finding the solution:

I hope this helps you out.


Cheers,
Ballerina
