You can change file permissions with the chmod command.
There are two basic ways of using chmod to change file permissions:
Symbolic Method:
In the symbolic method to remove write permission for other users on a sub directory namedDog, you should enter:chmod o-rw DogAbsolute form:
In the absolute method to do the same, you should enter:chmod 700 Dogfor read, write, execute permissions only for the owner and not for the group and other users.
In this method you can customize the access permissions more efficiently as per your requirements.
Be careful when setting the permissions of directories, particularly your home directory; you don't want to lock yourself out by removing your own access. Also, you must have execute permission on a directory to switch (cd) to it.
