→INVESTIGATION 2: FILE PERMISSIONS
# Issue the following Linux commands:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ls -ld ~/documents ~/clients ~/vendors<br>ls -lR ~/documents ~/clients ~/vendors</span><br><br>'''NOTE:''' You should see permissions already set for those newly created directories and regular files.<br>What do these permissions mean for '''same group member''' and '''other group member''' access to those directory and regular files?<br><br>
# Let's limit access to the '''clients''' and '''vendors''' directories to only yourself and same group members.<br>Issue the following Linux command:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">chmod 750 ~/clients ~/vendors</span><br><br>
# Issue the '''ls -ld''' and '''ls -lR''' commands (as you did in ''step #8'') to confirm that the permissions for those directories have been changed.<br><br>'''NOTE:''' The '''-R''' option for the '''chmod''' command can change the file permissions <u>recursively</u> within a directory structure.<br><br>
# Issue the following Linux command: <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">chmod 750 -R ~/documents</span><br><br>
# Again, use the '''ls''' command to confirm the permissions for the '''~/documents''', '''~/document/memos''' ,<br>'''~/documents/reports''', and '''~/documents/contracts''' directories.<br><br>
