Calculate Linux & Unix file/folder permissions (755, 644, 777 etc.) instantly with interactive matrix, symbolic notation (-rwxr-xr-x), and ready-to-run terminal commands.
chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx script.shOwner can read and write; the public or web server can only read/execute.
Default file mask equivalent: 0022. New files created with this mask will be restricted accordingly.
Select read (r), write (w), and execute (x) permissions for Owner, Group, and Others.
Inspect the calculated 3 or 4-digit octal value (e.g. 755) and symbolic notation (-rwxr-xr-x) in real time.
Optionally type an octal number or symbolic string directly to update checkboxes automatically.
Copy the generated 'chmod' command and paste it into your terminal.
Read = 4, Write = 2, Execute = 1. Combining permissions adds these numbers together; for example, Read (4) + Execute (1) = 5.
644 (rw-r--r--) allows only the owner to modify files while others can read. 755 (rwxr-xr-x) adds execute permission needed for directories to be entered or scripts to be run.
