PugJr Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I do not fully understand what it means. I know it means that everyone has the ability to read, write, and execute, but what does everyone mean? Do you have to be logged into the linux computer to be considered a someone? Lets say for instance I have file: /var/www/777.php The 777.php file permission is set to 777. Can everyone modify that file? So even you the casual browser, could? Or must you still be logged into the linux computer? Then lets have another example where its not on the internet. Lets say I have /var/777/777.php . Now that files permission is also set to 777 but it can't be viewed unlike /var/www/777.php which can be by domainname/777.php . Are both/neither/one of them safe from outside modification? Thanks.

xadz Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 It'd be interesting if you could post your findings, as I too, and I'm sure others are also confused.
