Hi there,
To change file/folder permissions you'll want to use the chmod command:
chmod {options} filename
For example the below will grant the owner of the file (referenced by u) write permissions (referenced by +w) on the file example.txt:
chmod u+w example.txt
You can also use binary references to set file permissions for all users. For example the below will give the owner & group that the file belongs to permissions to read, write and execute (Read = 4, Write = 2, Execute = 1), whilst anyone else will only be able to read the file:
chmod 774 example.txt
