How do you change permissions under Linux? Explain chmod?

So long as you are the system administrator or the owner of a file or directory, you can grant permission using the chmod command. Use + symbol to add permission or – symbol to deny permission, along with any of the following letters: u (user), g (group), o (others), a (all), r (read), w (write) and x (execute). For example, the command chmod go+rw RON1.TXT grants read and write access to the file RON1.TXT, which is assigned to groups and others.
