chmod 755 filenameUnderstanding chmod permissions
On Unix-like systems every file has three permission groups — owner, group, and other — each with read (4), write (2), and execute (1) bits. Summing the bits per group gives the familiar three-digit octal like 755 or 644, while the symbolic form rwxr-xr-x is what ls -l prints. It all computes in your browser.
