Frequently Asked Questions
What do the numbers mean?
4 stands for Read (r), 2 for Write (w), and 1 for Execute (x). The sum creates the permission level (e.g., 4+2+1 = 7).
What is 777 permission?
777 gives full read, write, and execute permissions to everyone. It is generally unsafe for production servers.
What is the most common folder permission?
755 (Owner: rwx, Group: rx, Public: rx) is standard for directories, allowing the owner to modify but others only to read/execute.
