CHMOD on folders - How do I know what the current CHMOD is on a folder? What ones are there? Linux N00b
Ive a linux friend helping me with Samba.
I don’t want to ask him everything.
Chmod will be changed on a few shares.
I would like to compare the CHMODs that are there now before they are changed to see what has been done and better understand.
So how do I know the current CHMOD on a folder?

chmod 777 foldername
is the most you can get. It gives total permission for everything -- not a very good practice though
you can also do
chmod -R 777 folder
would make the least restrictive permissions for the folder and its contents.

Is there a way to see the current permissions or chmod status on a folder?
I have a working example on another server but dont want to change it, but would be interested in copying its permissions on its shares to see the result.
See my very first comment!

drwxrwxrwx. 18 root root 4096 Mar 8 19:16 users-personal
[ed@server1 users folders]$ ls -ld admin-private
drwxrwxrwx. 5 root root 4096 Mar 15 03:55 admin-private
[ed@server1 users folders]$ ls -ld admin-public
drwxrwxrwx. 2 root public 4096 Mar 14 22:52 admin-public
Not knowing Linux / Samba - I cant tell what mod this is in this example.
They all appear to be the same mod.
What mod?

That was very well explained there!
My pall is not explaining things very well to me!
And thanks to everyone else as well.
You all have the patience of Jobe!

Hi what chmod is the most open for a folder - Im setting up a share and only one user on samba can access it. Two others cant.
The two that cant are listed in " give access to these users"
