chmod -R 2775 /opt/downloadsExplanation of the chmod -R 2775 /opt/downloads command
Let me break down the permission string “drwxrwsr-x“:
d: This indicates that it is a directory.rwx: The owner (user) has read, write, and execute permissions.rws: The group has read, write, and execute permissions, with the setgid bit set.r-x: Others have read and execute permissions.
The 2 at the beginning of the octal mode corresponds to the setgid bit, which ensures that new files and subdirectories created within this directory inherit the group ownership of the parent directory.
The -R option makes the chmod command apply the changes recursively to all files and subdirectories within the specified directory.
