linux - Chmod 777 to a folder and all contents - Stack Overflow

chmod 777chmod is used to change the permissions of the actual file. When you execute chmod 777, you are allowing RWX (read, write, execute) access to owners, groups,You almost never need 777 permissions on any type of file, and you absolutely never need 777 on a non-executable file. – skiphoppy Commented Apr 4, 2012 at 10:51
