Being able to read, write or execute a file is based on ownership and permissions. You can change the owner of a file (or directory) with chown and you can change the permissions with chmod. man chown or chmod will give you lots of details you'll need to get with. The way I do this (not the only way) is to use the 'users' group for files I want everyone to be able to access, just add those folks to the 'users' group and adjust the permissions accordingly. > I don't mind reading tutorials and other docs, but at this point in my > Debian education, they need to be suitability simple.
