Linux File Permissions in 5 Minutes | MUST Know!

[@Jithinrocks001]

Been using linux system since last 3 years but still learned a couple of new things from your video, thank you very much.

[@Bananas1973]

This is something I've avoided learning, for years I've searched the net and just copy & pasted. Your video make it so easy to understand, thank you so much.

[@dequaleg]

I am currently studying for my a+ and you have explained this is such an easy and digestible way thank you!!!!

[@samiescobar-xm5hs]

Thanks a lot you explained in 5 minutes what my teacher couldn't explain in 2 weeks

[@daxoliveira8839]

Helpfull is not enough to describe what this video was! Thanks Travis!

[@WackoMcGoose]

TIL that a directory being "executable" means that you can execute commands _on_ that directory, rather than having anything to do with executables running _from_ that directory. Neat!

[@KarenLi-ht8it]

simple and not redundant at all, which is what most people who are learning need when it comes to a tutorial! thank you so much for your video, it has been really helpful!

[@ivyrafael2613]

You just helped me understand why I was struggling so much with a virtual lab, thank you for making this video I'm keeping this saved in a playlist so I can study with it.

[@Karaaa598]

Currently studying for Core 2 of the A+ exam and I couldn't wrap my head around the file permissions with the course I'm using, I found this video and understood it straight away. Thank you so much Travis!

[@MsSLOOM77]

I know some about permissions but never wrap my head around it fully.. this 5 minutes is really helpful ❤

[@ChadWood-q2o]

Travis, you are a gift to this world.

[@smitparekh2312]

It was too informational in short time. I got what I was exactly searching for. Thanks Travis!

[@0xRAND0M]

I thought I knew everything about permissions, there is always something you can learn, great video!!!

[@14dayztimeap8]

Very Helpful. You gained a subscriber with a like and one comment.

[@nipunaratnayake2375]

All though I know all this I love watching to the point video without any gibberish. As always good job ❤

[@JaishreeramCoder]

Exactly what I wanted! All the useful information in such a short time!

[@securitymisconfiguration4009]

rwx - can't explain better than this! You nailed it - thanks for sharing.

[@poweredbygeeko]

awesome video! amazing how useful 5-10mins of info can be!

[@zoeskee1199]

I love when someone can explain something to me like I'm five years old. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@boodyyahmed7999]

this is super cool, I can read them now! thank you Travis ❤❤❤❤

[@rainyblain]

I just saw this pop up in my feed, haven't watched sorry, but also, thank you cos I have been learning this stuff at the age of 45, and it just dawned on me that this stuff is sinking in 'if at a slow rate' but thanks you just made my day, left a like.

[@AsifShaikh-xx1sv]

It is the best video I have found to understand the way you explained is very simple and easy to grasp

[@saddamhussainfaniband8617]

Most simplest explanation. Thank you so much

[@MohammedAbdulQuadeer-gg4gv]

I love the way to explain by leading an example, This really helped me a lt. Thanks Travis

[@codingon2323]

I like your way of explaining...pls make a detailed video on linux and cover all its fundamentals.❤ Thank you Sir.

[@alfred576]

Thank you for this video which is easy to understand and concise!

[@alexz7111]

Fast and very well explained tutorial. Great!

[@juliesigmon]

this is such an easy to understand video, thank you! This will help me with my linux cert next week! :)

[@BandanazX]

No mention about the sticky bit... That would have been nice.

[@cartoonguy32]

Check the caption

[@affan_ad]

That would've made the video too complex for a Linux beginner. If it had been mentioned then someone else would be complaining about SUID or GUID

[@surfbug1]

Oh sheeeezzz. What's that

[@douglassmith9445]

@@cartoonguy32the sticky bit is not in the caption or anywhere in this video, but still makes this video pop up as one of the first for sticky bit information under the yt search engine results.

[@JuanTeobaFlores-b1o]

IM MIND BLOWN! I GET IT NOW. thank you so much! im subscribing

[@HaukeLaging]

You can argue about what a good baseline is. I use umask 027 so that new files get 640 and new directories 750. The rationale being: If you grant not enough permissions then you will be told about that (and can fix that trivially). Don't expect that to happen if you grant too many permissions...

[@randyarbogast2716]

This was awesome! Thanks for the refresher!

[@xjarhd570]

I subscribed to the email for the cheatsheet. I did confirm my email. No cheatsheet? Really good video learned a lot, I am just learning Linux.

[@MuratcanBerber]

It was just perfect. Liked and subscribed !

[@JahanzaibNiazi]

[@rpgresearch]

Typo in slide at 2:47, you have 1. chmod and 2. chmod, when you meant 1. chown and 2. chmod.

[@junivensaavedra882]

Super AWESOME! My gratitude Travis. :)

[@monjasonsteng7861]

Thank you so much for this great explanation.

[@TSIXGaming]

Excellent guide! I almost fully understand this now But how do i add users to a group and how do i list the users of a group

[@Crazy--Clown]

Awesome explanation 👍👍 Thanks for sharing

[@zeppelinmexicano]

So if I'm owner and change my permissions on my file, will it change my default group's permissions as well? Don't have a Linux box at the moment.

[@ahmedamr1124]

solid explaining thanks

[@polo.exe001]

Thanks this was very helpful🤟

[@mariaselenta2412]

[@vfeuer9236]

what owner:group should I set my lampp(apache and mysql) folder, so a non sudoer user can use it?

[@MrDevilwing]

@ 2:46 first command should be 1.chown

[@TravisMedia]

[@MrDevilwing]

[@freshman8331]

Thank you so much for your explanations

[@HitheshAvishka0215]

life changing! Thank you

[@haroldhale3964]

Thank you. Much appreciated 👍🏾🙏🏾

[@InvertedEuropean]

Hai travis can you do a full Linux commands vedio?

[@karlmoore1837]

I changed permissions for a drive (e.g. sudo chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=r /dev/sdb1) but the files on the drive will only give me the option of deleting permanently. I am not clear on why this is, if anyone knows why, please let me know. Thanks.

[@ilansegikwiye6361]

Amazing video!

[@marwenbenahmed2279]

THANKSSS a lot this really helped

[@АнастасияТерещенкова-й4щ]

Could you please make more videos on Linux? That would be great!

[@TravisMedia]

What else would you like to see?

[@АнастасияТерещенкова-й4щ]

@@TravisMedia Thanks for asking, actually right now I am interested in Linux videos, and I enjoy the way you introduce the content. Your videos are not that long as well, so I still gonna say - more of Linux, if you please

[@messi8ballon_dor]

I like this video, easily understand

[@casadydixon5069]

Five Stars. Thank you.

[@timman6106]

want to know how to add read permission for a specific user (or group) while preventing others to read the file

[@speniji3]

How to give permissions to a user for a directory. Chmod u+rwx / data?

[@space_ace7710]

Great, Thank you!

[@kencole4850]

I don't get it. It appears that you are talking about individuals files. I want to be able to use my entire hard disk.

[@JahanzaibNiazi]

cheat sheet is not available on your website. Please update the link.

[@Wolfwuf]

[@harounahmad3590]

[@takashimitsuya1343]

thank you I understand kali linux basic for hackers chapter 5

[@chanzholopainen3406]

this video is not helpful for most regular users because the information here is available for everywhere. I need to know how ownership affect to the sub folders, and how parent folder permissions affect sub folders / files. how S flag affect files in directory, you don't even teach symbolic methods to change permissions, but went directly to binaries. I have a file named siteconfig.conf in my nginx/conf.d folder. I have a user named backup which is a member of ngix group. the conf.d folder has nginx group owner, but still this user cannot touch that file, I don't know why, even the file has 777 permission, it just cannot write. file has write permissions for the nginx group (-rw-rw-r--), the parent directory /usr/local/nginx/conf/ does not grant the backup user sufficient permissions to create or modify files, as it is owned by root:root with mode 777 (drw-rw-rw-). another question. If I have a root folder with some restrictive permission, let's say 600, and if the child folders/files have 777 permission will everybody be able to read/write/execute the child file even though the root folder has 600? idk why no one create videos explaining this context? where is the t flag? what is setfacl? file permission in 5 mins? hmm wasted 5 mins, and I took time to write this comment so you'll consider next time you make a video, you try not to waste time giving half infomation.

[@Acelestialerror]

I don't get it if it 664 then why are you giving 774 in

[@Barad_Katan]

Added an execute that equals to 1 so instead of 6 - read and write, he added execute and it makes it a 7 - read write execute

[@Acelestialerror]

I found an easier way but thx
