Linux Crash Course - Understanding File & Directory Permissions

3 роки тому

Confused about permissions in Linux? In this tutorial, I go over the basics of permissions so that you can understand how it works. We'll cover the permissions string and each element within it, what each individual section means, as well as how to change permissions.

This series doesn't feel like a crash course. It feels like the real effing deal. Thanks

@kevinmjomba3394 2 роки тому

Hands down one of the best explanations on file permissions I've found on UKposts 👐🏾. I initially had a problem with using the octal notation to change file permissions but your explanation made everything so clear. Thanks a lot for this great learning resource 👏🏾

“Permissions can be a BIT tricky...” lol I see what you did there

Love your content, btw. Even regular Linux users can pick something up from your videos.

I’ve been using Linux for quite a while. Nothing too extensive - just home use for a media server and file share server. I’ve seen a lot of videos. This is one of the best I’ve seen. To-the-point, clear explanation and informative. Great job.

@chefsalat 8 днів тому

I am very impressed by the way you teach these topics. would be also interesting to learn more about attributes / capabilities, as far as I understand, devs are held to replace the usage of the setuid permission and to switch to capabilities instead.

Although I have watched others explain this topic I will say you did a better way for me to understand it a bit better... :-) So thank for that. Did know about the -R for files but did not know you could use on a directory like that... :-D Cool! So Thanks for the video! LLAP

I have been using Linux for two decades now. I still like watching your videos in case I have omitted something in my education. Lo and behold at the very end of this video, you taught me about chown $USER: I never knew I could have a naked colon and it would use the user's default group. Thank you for all of your videos.
