[PLUG] Permissions "Can View Content"


I was debugging some rsync problems when I came across some permission issues that I can't figure out.

I understand that each file has Read, Write, and Execute permissions.  But when I used the file manager PCManFM to review and set permissions, it offered these three options:

  1. Read
  2. Write
  3. "View Content"

(BTW, setting "Anyone can View Content" on the file solved my rsync permissions problem, despite the "read" flag being previously set.)

So what is the difference between "read" and "view content"?  And how does one  set "view content" from the command line?
