Every web server has a form of CHMOD<\/strong> which stands for change mode<\/a><\/strong>. It lets you change the permissions of any given folder\/file<\/strong>, based on each user in the system.<\/p>\n

CHMOD is one of the main reasons that all developers should learn the command line<\/a>. It\u2019s a huge part of website maintenance<\/strong> and working on your own server<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But, with tools like this CHMOD calculator<\/a><\/strong>, you\u2019ll have an easy time creating the proper commands from scratch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"CHMOD<\/a><\/figure>\n

This is one of the most extensive calculators because it offers a ton of extra features. You can set the permissions directly<\/strong> with the three common actions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read<\/li>\n
  2. Write<\/li>\n
  3. Execute<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can also add extra flags<\/strong> to define more advanced functionality, all from a single GUI. These flags include the recursive feature<\/strong> which applies your settings to everything in the folder.<\/p>\n

    You can define the content output<\/strong> with flags such as --verbose<\/code> and --changes<\/code>, too.<\/p>\n

    These flags display reports<\/a> in the terminal<\/strong> after you run the CHMOD command. By default, it outputs just the error messages<\/strong> (if there are any) but you can also switch this to silent for showing no errors.<\/p>\n

    Once you pick all your settings, you\u2019ll find the proper CHMOD code waiting for you to copy\/paste right into the terminal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    You can also review the settings<\/strong> near the bottom of the page, along with links to pre-defined settings<\/a><\/strong> for different commands.<\/p>\n

    \"CHMOD<\/a><\/figure>\n

    CHMOD is a powerful command, supported in all Linux\/Unix systems<\/strong>. And, it\u2019s definitely a staple for anyone working in web development, so be sure to keep this site bookmarked if you do a lot of CHMOD calls or work on your own local server<\/a> setups.<\/p>\n
