Too Long; Didn't Read
Chmod takes an octal number as its first arguments, as in 755 or 600. 4 means read, 2 means write, and 1 means execute. The first digit is you and you alone. The second digit is the group the file belongs to (but that’s another post) The third digit is everyone else. You can use the "R-R" flag to act on a directory and all its files, to make it recursive. Chmod #1: Chmod is a command that controls who can read and write your files (!!)
