Does anyone know how to change the permissions to ( numerically) drwxrwxrwx ?

That would be chmod 777 <directory name>

Already tried that, but no 'd'. Little rusty.....
-rwxrwxrwx

Maybe I misunderstand, but you can't &quot;change&quot; the 'd' bit .. that signifies a directory, not a file.

Hi

The First Bit in the long listing is always the kind of file
so as a end-user we have no control over it.

Basically it tell the OS what kind of file u r referring to

But chmod 777 is the best u can do with chmod .

Enjoy Unix..
