Frequently Asked Questions — Chmod Calculator

It sets Unix file permissions — who can read, write, and execute a file. The three digits represent owner, group, and others.

Owner can read+write+execute. Group and others can read+execute but not write. Standard for web server directories.

The calculator shows both octal (755) and symbolic (rwxr-xr-x) formats side by side. Toggle checkboxes to see both update.
