Re: [PLUG] Permissions "Can View Content"

[Michael Lazin via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

You can try this:

find -type f -exec chmod 644 {};

find -type d -exec chmod 755 {};

This will set the permissions you want.

In most cases 644 for files and 755 for directories is safe and will work for rsync provided the group ownership allows the transfer.  If you have problems after setting these permissions you may want to check the user and group.

Thanks,

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?
