Hi Brian,
FYI the following may give you an insight. The permissions are r = read, w = write, x = execute. The below are the most common settings.
The setting -rw------- whose numerical value is 600 means that only the owner has read and write permissions
The setting -rw-r--r-- whose numerical value is 644 means that only the owner has read and write permissions; the group and others have read only
The setting -rwx------ whose numerical value is 700 means that only the owner has read, write, and execute permissions
The setting -rwxr-xr-x whose numerical value is 755 means that only the owner has read, write, and execute permissions; the group and others have only read and execute
The setting -rwx--x--x whose numerical value is 711 means that only owner has read, write, and execute permissions; the group and others have only execute
The setting -rw-rw-rw- whose numerical value is 666 means that veryone can read and write to the file. Be careful with these permissions. The setting -rwxrwxrwx whose numerical value is 777 means that everyone can read, write, and execute. Again, this permissions setting can be hazardous.
