Have you tried 'chown <your user name> /media/<device name>' and 'chmod a +rwx /media/<device name>'?
Hopefully these'll help. :3
In the permissions r-xrwxrwx, the owner has read and execute permissions (r-x), the group has read, write, and execute permissions (rwx), and others also have read, write, and execute permissions (rwx). This means that the owner cannot write to the file, as indicated by the absence of the write permission in the owner's set of permissions. Therefore, only the owner cannot write to the file.
Read,Write and Execution permissions. r- Read w- Write x- Execution
You can write them in whatever directory you want. You need to compile them with your kernel, however.
Create a file and set it's permissions to 222
File permissions in Linux are not represented in binary format, but rather octal format. The first digit represents owner permissions, second digit is group permissions, and the final one is permissions for everyone. Read permissions are assigned a 4, write permissions are assigned a 2, and execute permissions are assigned a 1. A 6 permission allows read and write (4+2).
read, write, execute
You don't say what you want to do with the permissions, but most shells have a 'test' command that can look at various permissions. Look at the 'man' command for the shell you are running in to see what tests are possible on files and directories. You can check to see if the target is a directory, or a file, and whether it has read, write, or execute/search permissions. Again, it varies by the shell environment.
You can use the Server app to set standard permissions-Read & Write, Read Only, Write Only, or None-to control access to a folder and its contents. You can set different permissions for one user (the owner), one group, and all other users who log in. You can also set standard permissions on individual files. Standard permissions are also called POSIX permissions.
I think this is related to permissions given to a file in unix OS. r --> read w --> write e --> execute rw-rw-r-- means first " rw-" for owner read and write permissions " rw- " for group read and write permissions " r--" for others read permissions only I hope this is correct, if any one finds mistake, Please let me know about the mistake... regards, kesavareddy.D
Permissions are allocated based on users and groups, with read, write, and executable privileges being capable of being set.
The group has read and execute permissions. The number is octal; the digits pertain to owner, group and all users respectively. The binary representation in three bits of each digit gives read, write and execute permissions respectively. Thus the middle digit, for group permissions, a 5, is binary 101, indicating read and execute but no write permission.
Read, write, execute and delete.
