CHMOD owner/group 99 609

Question

i user APACHE with PHP. if we use FTP program like filezilla. we will have field information about Permission (777) and Owner/Group (99 99) in *NIX i understand how to translate the Permission like 777

• 4 = Read
• 2 = Write
• 1 = eXecute

where its mean RW = 42 = 6

but what about Owner/Group = 99 99

How to translate it??

Many Thanks

Answer 1

These are owner and group ids, so in the permission block :

• first number refers to owner rights (uid 99)
• second number refers to owner group rights (gid 99)
• third number refers to others rights

In your case, 777 is read/write/execute for owner, owner group, and others.
