Comments
When your administrator assigns you a home directory (a directory on a
server for your personal use) you can control this directory and the files on it
so that only certain other users have access to them. You control access to
your home directory by granting permissions after you connect to the server
where your home directory resides. Permissions control a user’s access to a
file or directory.
Permissions and what they allow a user to do are as follows:
Permission Description
R (read) Read and copy files, and view subdirectories.
W (write) Make changes to files.
C (create) Create files and subdirectories.
X (execute) Run a command or program.
D (delete) Remove files and subdirectories.
A (attributes) Change MS-DOS file attributes. For information
about file attributes, see your MS-DOS manual(s).
