To change file permissions in Linux, use the “chmod” command. Chmod stands for “change mode” and is used to change the permission levels of files and directories. To use the chmod command, you must first identify the numeric value that corresponds to the set of permissions you want to set.
Then, use the following syntax:
chmod [permission #] filename
For example, to give read, write and execute permissions to a file called myfile, you would use the command:
chmod 777 myfile
