I've created a specific directory with multiple files and I need to set read / write / execute permissions for all files in this folder read / write / execute for group only and not allow for 'others', what is the best way to go about this using CLI?

Thanks for the reply I looked there already, I found it more confusing. somebody already explained it to me and it seems I want to do the following:

chmod 070 file, file, file, file

Why do you want no permissions for the owner?

Why do you want all files to have execute permission? unless they are actually executable (scripts or binaries) then what you probably want is something like


chmod ug=rwX,o= yourdir

Tell us your purpose and we can give better advice

Solved, used chmod 770 file* which did the trick
