It is not a secret anymore if *nix such as Linux and BSD far more resistant to interference the virus than windows. One of the causes *nix more able to survive attacks from viruses is the File and Folder permissions are more complete and strict.

But sometimes for beginners, barely a file and folder permissions in *nix can be a barrier to try to install, copy or work with files and other folders.

Let’s dizzy with the code 777 or rwxr-xr-x, or you may be confused with how to change the permissions of a folder or file further this article may help you a bit.

First before we start with how to change a file folder or something we know what factors can create a file or folder can not be accessed by users vain. There are four factors that can affect it can not access a file in by the user.

1. User, is certainly the first time affect access user is the user itself. Unix is able to manage many users. User can indeed is the only person (man) but also the user can form a type of system. Examples of people in the form of user I boxes are user kids which is i am and squid allocated to run the application squid proxy.

2. Group, grouped Unix user groups in particular set to ease some of the users who have the same rights in managing files and folders (but not limited only to manage files and folders only).

3. Ownership, every file on Unix would have the owners. Unix is the owner of a file or folder because it is only in the Unix owner or the root (admin or box owners) who have the most access to a high of a file or folder.

4. Permission, is now the most important permissions. Each file and folder in the *nix have a permissions settings to determine whether the file can be read, write / edit / delete or in execution.
