1. Open the Terminal application.
2. Type “chmod [permission] [file name]” and press Enter. Replace [permission] with the numeric value of the permissions you wish to assign and [file name] with the name of the file.
For example, to set full read/write privileges for the owner, type “chmod 700 myfile.txt”.
3. To make sure the permissions have been applied, type “ls –l [file name]” and press Enter. The file’s current permission settings should be displayed.
