I removed my permissions on my downloads folder using chmod.
can anyone help restore back to default?
Thanks!
sudo chmod 755 ~/Downloadsassuming you don’t need a recursive solution for subdirectories
I love everything about this screenshot
The non proportional font on terminal 🤌
I think they should use Comic Sans instead.
Papyrus or bust
Webdings
Pretend you’re using Ancient Aliens tech
Aptos Mono if you want to feel conflicted
That one’s at least still fixed width
Blessing and a curse
As long as it’s fixed width it’s a blessing to me.
Thanks y’all! chmod 755 worked! Back to drwxr-xr-x
A quick guide to explain what is going on here, and what the numbers mean: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DaMLUoGXUAI21V6.jpg:large
Tip: you can also use chmod u+rwx,g+rx,o+rx etc to add permissions
With the initial letters corresponding to “user”, “group” and “other”, and ®was, (w)rite, e(x)ecute for the rest.
In the case of directories, x specifies access to files/etc within the directly (read just let’s you see them)
You can also use i.e “o-rw” etc etc to remove existing permissions
I was weirded out by the 12288 filesize. If anyone else is wondering.
So used to seeing 4096 lol
Huh, I thought it’s a file, but I saw it’s a dir. What’s up with that odd value?
I believe directories contain pointers to the nodes under them, so they get bigger with lots of things in them.
man chmod?
man, chmod!
Chmod my man!
Chmod my soul
sudo chmod 777 ~/DownloadsAs easy as that!
