chmod -R 444 [folder]
using the recursive option for chmod i am trying to make all the folders and subsequent files read only
i.e. chmod -R 444 folder when i go to check the folder or contents using any command (cat, ls -l etc..) i get permission denied reply can someone tell me why and how to make folders and their files read-only but still well.. readable! |
