To change the permissions of a file in SSH, once you have logged in, you can use the CHMOD command. Here are a few common examples of CHMOD:
chmod number filename
chmod 600 example.html - This will give the file read and write permissions by the owner only (-rw-------). chmod 644 example.html - This will give the file read and write permissions by the owner and read by everyone else (-rw-r--r--). chmod 700 example.html - This will give the file read, write and execute permissions by the owner only (-rwx------). chmod 755 example.html - This will give the file read, write and execute permissions by the owner, read and execute permissions by the group and others (-rwxr-xr-x) chmod 666 example.html - This will give the file read and write permissions by everyone(-rw-rw-rw-) (NOT RECOMMENDED) chmod 777 example.html - This will give the file read, write and execute permissions by everyone (-rwxrwxrwx) (NOT RECOMMENDED)
