Unix and Linux file permissions control who can read, write, and execute files and directories. The chmod command uses octal notation (like 755 or 644) or symbolic notation (like rwxr-xr-x) to set these permissions. Our interactive chmod calculator lets you click checkboxes for owner, group, and others permissions and instantly shows both the octal code and symbolic string to use with chmod. Essential for system administrators, developers, and anyone working with Linux servers.
