| + | **Q.** How do I change my directory permissions? | ||
| + | |||
| + | **A.** Permissions are changed by the command ''chmod''. To open read+write permissions to everyone to your user directory, start from your home directory: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> cd .. | ||
| + | chmod -R 777 <username></code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <username> is your Linux username. ''-R'' implies recursive permissions on all folders in the tree. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To turn permissions back off, use command from outside of your home directory | ||
| + | <code> chmod -R 700 <username> </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | For a better understanding of how permissions work in Linux, use Google search. | ||
