Question how to remove permissions for 'others' only
Hi expert,
I want to remove 'others' permission completely while maintaining 'owner' and 'group'.

Thanks.

-rwxrw----
-rwxrw--w-
-rwxrwxr-x
-rwxrwxrwx
-rwxrwxr-x
-rwxrwxr-x
-rwxrw----
-rwxrw----
-rwxrw----
-rwxrw----
drwxrwxr-x
drwxr-x---
-rwxrwxr-x
-rwxrw----
-rwxrwxr-x

Code:
chmod 760 <filename>

Owner will have full access,group will have read and write access and others won't have any access.

The owner and group accesses can be changed as per requirement.

For more information

Code:
man chmod

Hi ,
I've omitted some entry. I've many files and folders more than 100 of them with other permissions as well. ( i.e groups has different combination of permissions as well ).

-rwx------
-rwxr-x---
-rwxr-----

Is there any other way to do it rather than changing manually one by one ?
Thanks.

It would be better if u use
chmod o-7 *

It will remove all permissions for others in all the files and subdirectories in current directory.

If you wanted to traverse all of the subdirectories and their files too? You would need

chmod -R o-7 *

The -R will recursively go through everything from where you are and below.
