Diving permision to a new folder digital ocean

To grant diving permission to a new folder in DigitalOcean, you'll need to use the chmod command. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites:

1. You have a DigitalOcean droplet (virtual private server) set up.
2. You have SSH access to your droplet.
3. You have created a new folder in your droplet's file system.

Granting diving permission:

1. Open a terminal and connect to your DigitalOcean droplet using SSH.
2. Navigate to the directory where your new folder is located using the cd command. For example:

   cd /path/to/new/folder

3. Use the chmod command to grant diving permission to the folder. You can do this by running the following command:

   chmod 755 /path/to/new/folder

   This sets the permissions to rwx (read, write, execute) for the owner, r-x (read, execute) for the group, and r-x (read, execute) for others.

Breaking down the permissions:

• 7 represents the permissions for the owner (you).
• 5 represents the permissions for the group.
• 5 represents the permissions for others.

Here's a breakdown of what each permission means:

• r (read): allows the user to read the contents of the folder.
• w (write): allows the user to write to the folder (create, modify, delete files).
• x (execute): allows the user to execute files within the folder (e.g., run scripts).

Verify the permissions:

To verify that the permissions have been set correctly, you can use the ls command with the -ld option:

ls -ld /path/to/new/folder

This will display the permissions for the folder in a human-readable format.

That's it! Your new folder should now have diving permission set.
