@Linux :

for an example : for a file named " lastlog "

Here are its permissions :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29492 Dec 1 15:12 lastlog

Which means--

here( r )stands for -----Read

(w)stands for -----Write

and (x)stands for -----Execute Permissions respectively

In Detail:

User has rw- Permissions(read,write permissions and no execute permission)

Group has r-- Permissions

and Others have r-- Permissions for the file lastlog* .

Extra info :

root root ----Means that it is owned by root user(first root) and it belongs to group root (second root).

Hope it helped.

You can individually control folder and file permissions by right clicking on the folder/file, select properties, click on security and click on 'Edit...'. Be aware that this can have far reaching consequences. I suggest you go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ and learn about file and folder permissions. It is not easy and very tricky.
