There are 10 characters in a string for a Unix-style file permission.
The format is:
dooogggaaa (where d is a directory flag, oindicates the permissions for the file owner, g indicates the group the file belongs to, and a is for everyone else [all])
The permission values breakdown:
- d is only available on the first character, and if toggled, this means that the file is a directory (folder).
- - means no permission (or in the case of the first character, it means it's a file and not a directory).
- r grants read permissions.
- w grants write permissions.
- x grants execute (run) permissions, which is generally used on program files.
In your case, -rw-rwx-wx means:
- It's not a folder (the directory flag is not there)
- The file owner is allowed to read and write to the file
- The group is allowed full access (read, write, execute)
- Everyone else is only allowed write and execute permissions.
If you find it hard to memorize those, there's a different way to memorize it (as 3 digits).
Your file has a value of 673.
Like the previous representation of file permissions, the first digit represents the owner's permissions, the second digit represents the group permissions, and the last digit represents the everyone's permissions.
To get these numbers:
A "read" permission is assigned the number 4.
A "write" permission is assigned the number 2.
A "execute" permission is assigned the number 1.
If you add them together, you'll get a sum for the permissions.
For example, your 673:
- File owner: read + write = 4 + 2 = 6
- Group: read + write + execute = 4 + 2+ 1 = 7
- All: write + execute = 2 + 1 = 3

In short: a very good understanding of file and folder permissions. There is no clear answer to this question. Folder and file permissions are very complicated. 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.
If the permissions are r-xrwxrwx who can't write?
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.
