Hi all, I don't know how to take off protection from one of my files Tried umask 022, umask 0, etc, nothing works. The chmod command didn't work either. I don't know the values that I need to put in. The ls -l fileName command should give me: -rwxr-xr-x but not all dashes as it does now. It's an html file that needs to be read and executed by anybody. Please help. Many thanks in advance! Ned
