u= user (who is represented as user the Domain owner ore the Server operator?)
r=read
w=write
x=execute
g=group (who is considered as group Domain owner and anyone alls?)

This is my setting now as below!


I ask this because I unchecked all except on g=group to r=read only.
I am able to open my html file and also I can edit in file manager without problems is that normal!
If the execute is ticked what function does it have? I can Execute what?

i think group is the owner be warned if exicute isn't marked on folders the file manager cannot open them.

u=user; which is the current user - this will be your user for files created via ftp, the web server user for files created or uploaded via php. These permissions only apply to the user.

g=group; a collection of users (and this is defined by the host settings, whatever they may be) who share the group entitlements that are set for a file.

x=execute; permits a file to be run as a script/program or a directory to be scanned. Unlike Windows, Unix systems use this permission setting to determine whether a file may be run as an application (whether it be a shell script or binary application). Windows of course uses the file extension - .bat .exe .scr etc - to determine whether a file can be run.

Generally the preferred settings would be -rw-r-- for html pages etc and drwxr-x for directories.

Great got it! Thank' member robleyd
That makes it very clear to understand!
As simple it is but this is a good thread for other members to look at! Especially the ones have FTP function problems!

u= user =   related to FTP access functions
g= group = access functions in file manager
x=  in this case enables the opening of a Directory

But only one setting is behaving strange, under g=group I deselected w=write you should not be able to edit the html file in file manager, but what it actually does is! When I edit the file and saved it, automatically resets and tick's the write function! must be a default server setting doing this!

Anyhow thank you very much for the detailed explanation! Would I had looked in Google search I probably still be seaching for the correct answer!
