To check the write permissions of a file in Linux, you can use the ‘ls –l‘ command. This will list the permissions assigned to each file and folder in the current directory. You can then look for the ‘w‘ character in the permissions field to indicate that the user or group have write permissions. For example, if you see a “-rw–r—r—“, this indicates the user has read/write permissions (the “w“ is in the first permission field).
