Re: VIOS upgrade: Where to stick download data?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
