What is this tool?
This tool converts Unix file permissions between numeric notation (e.g. 755) and symbolic notation (e.g. rwxr-xr-x). Set permissions intuitively with checkboxes and generate chmod commands instantly.
How to Use
- Use the checkboxes to set read, write, and execute permissions for owner, group, and others.
- You can also type numeric or symbolic notation directly to convert.
- Click a preset button to quickly apply common permission sets.
- Enter a file path to generate a ready-to-use chmod command.
Examples
- Set 755 for a web server's public directory.
- Set 600 for a config file to restrict access to the owner only.
- Set 775 for a shared directory to allow group write access.
