How to convert permission from Linux/Unix to Window


You cannot set CHMOD on a Windows 2000 or 2003 server since CHMOD is a Unix/Linux server command function that does not work on Windows IIS servers. However, you can set read write and execute permissions by using the tool in hosting control panel under the "file permission".  You can check out the tutorial on our "file permission" section.

(File Permissions)

PERMISSION   COMMAND  

U   G   E

 
rwx rwx rwx  chmod 777 filename
rwx rwx r-x  chmod 775 filename
rwx r-x r-x chmod 755 filename
rw- rw- r--  chmod 664 filename
rw- r-- r- chmod 644 filename
U = User
G = Group
E = Everyone
r = Readable
w = writable
x = executable
- = no permission

Here is anther way of looking at CHMOD Commands translated to Windows permissions

Permissions:

400 read by owner
040 read by group
004 read by anybody (other)
200 write by owner
020 write by group
002 write by anybody
100 execute by owner
010 execute by group
001 execute by anybody

To find the combination,  just add them up.

For example, to get read write execute by owner, 
read execute by group, and execute by anybody,
you would add 400 200 100 040 010 001 to give 751.
 

PERMISSION            COMMAND   

         U   G   W
        rwx rwx rwx          chmod 777 filename      
        rwx rwx r-x            chmod 775 filename
        rwx r-x r-x              chmod 755 filename
        rw- rw- r--              chmod 664 filename
        rw- r-- r--                chmod 644 filename

        U = User
        G = Group
        W = Everyone

        r = Readable
        w = writable
        x = executable
        - = no permission
