CHMOD Tutorial with Example and Description
**Additional note: Although I'm sure you are smart enough to figure it out, I wanted to add that this works the same way for directories...eg, if you're in a folder that has several folders in it, you can just type in the name of the folder for the chmod command because at times, you will allow a file to execute, but the folder may block you from entering it in the first place.
If you are viewing this in relation to your website that has already made it to the internet, typically you will be able to right click or select the folder and choose something along the likes of "Change Permissions". Now that you are aware of what the numbers stand for from this video, you should be able to protect your site as well as display all information you give permission to. I did not do a cpanel tutorial due to the variety of cpanels out there along with the rapidly updating UI's.
