===== Linux FAQs =====

**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.
