help CHMOD - El Forum - 08-10-2009 [eluser]boony[/eluser] Hi all, Excuse my ignorance, but I need to change some file permissions. But I don't know what the difference between this Code: chmod 777 application/file1.php and this is.... Code: chmod -R 777 application/uploads Is the difference critical? Regards help CHMOD - El Forum - 08-10-2009 [eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser] Hi boony, Code: chmod 777 allows all read write permissions Hope this helps. Enjoy InsiteFX P.S. Just use chmod 777 thats what most users use. help CHMOD - El Forum - 08-10-2009 [eluser]Kepler[/eluser] Yes, the -R means "recursively" change permissions of the directory and all it's contents, including subdirectories. http://ss64.com/bash/chmod.html |
