Re: VIOS upgrade: Where to stick download data?

To expand a bit - so to speak - each number represents the permissions - in binary fashion - 4 is read, 2 is write, 1 is execute - so 7 is the sum of those values, hence, all 3 permissions

100 = read
010 = write
001 = execute

That is like our *RWX on IFS objects.

So to give owner everything, group only read-write, and public only read, you'd use 764 - execute is not needed for data files, it could be needed to recurse a directory.

I would equate it closer to a file with <ownerid> *ALL, <group> *ALL, and *PUBLIC *ALL

What does the chmod 777 do?
