[Gllug] File permissions

[Sunny Aujla]

Hi Swen,

Have you used the 'chown' command.

Here is a example:

chown foo:foo /home/foo/docs/test.sh
chmod 770 /home/foo/docs/test.sh

This will give full permission (rwx)  to the user foo and to the group foo.
All others have no access.

Is this what you are trying to do?  If not, can you give some more details.

Regards,

Sunny
