What Is Chmod Calculator?
Calculate Unix file permissions in numeric and symbolic notation.
Unix/Linux file permissions control who can read (r), write (w), and execute (x) files. Permissions are set for three groups: owner, group, and others. The numeric notation (e.g., 755) uses octal digits where 4=read, 2=write, 1=execute. So 755 means owner gets full access (7), while group and others can read and execute (5).
