Q. What are the numbers to the right of my files and folders?
A. Those are the current permissions for that particular file or folder. Permissions are altered by change mode (CHMOD) and are seen in the format of 3 numbers like 755.
Each digit stands for a different group of users:
user permission > group permission > world (or other) permission
The value of each digit means a different permission:
1 = execute only
2 = write only
3 = write and execute (1+2)
4 = read only
5 = read and execute (4+1)
6 = read and write (4+2)
7 = read and write and execute (4+2+1)
