Note there are many different attributes that chattr can change, here are a few more which may be useful:Ī (no Access time) - if a file or directory has this attribute set, whenever it is accessed, either for reading of for writing, it's last access time will not be updated. Note some flags can only be used by root -i, -a and probably many others. If you wish to modify the nf file you will need to unset the immutable flag: chattr -i. The +i will prevent any changes (accidental or otherwise) to the “nf” file. Use a '+' to add attributes and a '-' to take them away. This sets the 'immutable' flag on a file. Use the -R option to change files recursively, chattr has a large number of attributes which can be set on a file, read the manual page for further information. This will give everyone permission to execute the file with the permissions of the user who set the +s switch.Ĭhange file system attributes (works on ext2fs and possibly others.). You would normally use chmod to turn this on or off for a particular file, suid is generally considered a security hazard so be careful when using this. Note that the permissions aren't relevant in the numbers example, only the first number (1 = on, 0 = off).Īn example of a sticky directory is usually /tmp suidĪllow SUID/SGID (switch user ID/switch group ID) access. Or (where t represents the sticky bit) chmod -t somefile To turn it off you would need to type: chmod 0700 somefile (where the zero would mean no sticky bit) Or (where t represents the sticky bit) chmod +t somedirectory You can turn it on by typing: chmod 1700 somedirectory (where 1 = sticky bit) Only the person who created the file within a directory may delete it, even if other people have write permission. Use the -R option to change things recursively, in other words, all matching files including those in subdirectories.Ĭommand syntax: chown owner:group the_file_name ![]() chownĬhanges the ownership rights of a file (hence the name 'chown' - change owner). (Note that it's just an example, settings like that don't really make sense.). This would give the user read and execute permission, and the group write permission (but not read permission!) and everyone else execute permission. The first number is user, second is group and third is everyone else (other). This would give everyone read/write/execute permission on “this_file”. Numbers can be added together so you can specify read/write/execute permissions read+write = 6, read+execute = 5, read+write+execute = 7 R (read) = 4 w (write) = 2 x (execute) = 1 We can see this file by running the ls command.You can also use numbers (instead of letters) to change file permissions. Let’s look at an example scenario featuring the permission denied error, with a corresponding solution. We discuss the output of this command in our The Solution section later in the article. This command will give you information about file permissions. You can check if you have permissions over a file by using the following command: Thus, if you encounter a Bash permission denied be sure to check whether you are allowed to run the file. You can have permission to read and write a file without having execution privileges. ![]() On a Linux operating system, there are three types of permissions: This may happen if a file can only be executed by a particular user or a group of which you are not a member. The Bash permission denied error happens when you try to run a file which you do not have permission to run.
