Hello guys!

I just uploading my coursework for into my school unix server into its own directory. There are only two files. (project1 and project1.c)

I have to remove *all permissions* for others, and make it so only I can read/execute/write.

Is there any easy way to do this? Is there a single command that will allow me to take off read/execute/write permissions for these 2 files for everyone but myself?

I was googling and found this: chmod o-7 *

but don't know if its right.

Any unix gurus please help!

chmod 700 will set read/write/execute permission for you (the owner) and no permissions for group and others.

I think that chmod o-7 will remove all permissions from others, and leave the owner and group permissions as is.

thanks!

excuse my ignorance, but i just type it in like that? or are there extra parameters to deal with the individual files? (or will this just make it so whatever directory i type it in will effect all the files in that directory?)

in any even thanks!

You need to specify the file(s). Check out this chmod tutorial.
