Hour 5. Ownership and Permissions
This hour focuses on teaching the basics of UNIX file permissions. Topics include setting and modifying file permissions with chmod, analyzing file permissions as shown by the ls -l command, and setting up default file permissions with the umask command. Permission is only half the puzzle, however, and you also learn about file ownership and group ownership, and how to change either for any file or directory.
