Why is it denying me permission?
I have created a file and set the permission to read and write only for user and group. Here is how I did it:

chmod filename 660

I used ls -l to see and the changes are right so, why is it saying permission denied when I try to change into it. When I type cd filename, I am told permission denied. Why?
